Discrimination, Challenge and Response : People of North East India Hardback
Edited by Venkat Pulla, Rituparna Bhattacharyya, Sanjai Bhatt
Part of the Mapping Global Racisms series
Hardback
Description
This book explores discrimination against Northeast Indians, who have been frequently stereotyped as backwards, anti-national, anti-assimilationist, immoral, and relegated to low paying positions across retail, hospitality, telecommunications and wellness industries.
The contributions draw on interviews with individuals who have migrated to other Indian cities and towns to find jobs and escape from native poverty, and provide a critical examination of the intersections between power, privilege and racial hierarchy in India today.
The chapters cover a variety of perspectives including social movements and activism, history, policy, youth studies and gender studies.
With a focus on marginalised communities, and the effects and persistence of racial inequality in a South Asian context, this collection will be an important contribution to critical race studies, public policy, human rights discourse, and social work.
