Description

Caste, one of the oldest forms of exclusion in existence, is still active. Even though untouchability was outlawed 70 years ago, caste still affects 1.9 billion people worldwide. There is a crime committed against a Dalit person every 15 minutes. For Dalit women, the average death age is just 39. The ruins of caste are duplicated here in the United States as well; they manifest themselves at work, explode online with rape and death threats, and force countless Dalits to live in constant terror of being exposed. Thenmozhi Soundararajan, a Dalit American activist, issues a call to action for readers everywhere, not only in South Asia. She examines caste and links Dalit oppression to struggles for freedom in the Black, Indigenous, Latinx, feminine, and Queer communities. Examining caste from a feminist, abolitionist, and Dalit Buddhist perspective--and laying bare the grief, trauma, rage, and stolen futures enacted by Brahminical social structures on the caste-oppressed.
