Exploring Fourth World Litertures: Subaltern Literature, Tribals, Dalits & others (Vols 1&2)  (English, Hardcover, Patteti Raja Sekhar)

The collection of papers from the global conference on Understanding and Interrogating Fourth World Literatures explores the socio-literary, historical and cultural formation, evolution and consolidation of the Fourth World identity on the lines of George Manuel, Adam Shoemaker and Gordon Brotherston. The book attempts to circumscribe Dalits/ Adivasis of India on par with the Natives/ Aboriginals of America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It takes up multi-ethnic, intercultural, transcultural aspects of the issues of Natives/ Aboriginals/ Dalits of the Fourth World. The ground-breaking essays by leading intellectuals interrogate the issues of race, colour, gender and identity, and offer a rich discourse on the literatures and status of the marginalized sections of society.
