Untouchable Freedom: A Social History of a Dalit Community

Vijay Prashad (Author)

Synopsis Untouchable Freedom traces the history of these Dalit workers--the Balmikis--from the 1860s to the present. It offers a view of the work process that entraps these Dalits into the sanitation industry, although most worked as agricultural labour prior to the twentieth century. This book will interest historians, sociologists, activists, and all who are concerned with Dalit politics.
