Recenzii

This important volume imaginatively unravels heterogeneous, subterranean, and formative histories . . . of caste. — Saurabh Dube, Center for Asian and African Studies, El Colegio de México
This timely, provocative and scholarly book . . . [wi]th its rich ethnography and fine-tuned political sense . . . challenges the comfortable assumptions of Bengal as a society in which class relations have trumped traditional inequities and hierarchies . . . [T]he authors put caste centrally on the agenda of social theory in South Asia. — Dilip Menon, Centre for Indian Studies in Africa, University of Witwatersrand
