One of the only ethnographic studies of Dalit women, this book gives a rich account of individual Dalit women¿s lives and documents a rise in patriarchy in the community. The author argues that as Dalits¿ economic and political position improves, `honour¿ becomes crucial to social status. One of the ways Dalits accrue honour is by altering patterns of women¿s work, education and marriage, and by adopting dominant-caste gender practices. Simultaneously Dalits are asserting a distinct, politicised Dalit identity. Key to both, is the `respectability¿ of women.Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka
