Recenzii
"This collection of essays offers the reader a varied, nuanced, and engagé reflection on Dalit literature. It brings together contextualised, precise analyses of texts without ignoring the more general historical and political framework which is constitutive of this literature. Not only is it informative, but in some cases it brings readers to reflect on their own critical assumptions." - Alexis Tadié, Sorbonne Université, Etudes Anglaises
"With this eclectic collection of critical essays, written from a range of positions and raising a variety of issues, it is clear that Dalit literature has come of age." - Susie Tharu, Department of Cultural Studies, The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad
"The collection includes 21 well-written scholarly essays and a very useful selective bibliography of primary and secondary sources (books, journal articles, book chapters, and dissertations) on Dalit literature. In their excellent introduction Abraham (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha Univ., India) and Misrahi-Barak (Université Paul-Valéry, France) deal with the history and progress of Dalit literature in India. The book is an excellent addition to world literature, and this reviewer looks forward to studies that examine the contributions of Dalits from all religions of India." - R. N. Sharma, CHOICE
"This volume of essays is commendable because each essay widens out the field of inquiry in a centrifugal pattern. Each widening circle of analysis allows the reader to grasp the intersections of thought and pursue his/her own understanding of the larger questions." - Nilak Datta, IACLALS Journal, vol. 2
"One final, outstanding quality of this remarkable volume that warrants special attention is its potential as a research tool. Given the very recent nature of the discipline, the precise and thorough bibliographies that conclude each chapter provide precious references for researchers interested in these questions." - Lissa Lincoln, The American University of Paris, Postcolonial Studies Association
