Book Summary
Caste: A Global Story examines how caste operates beyond borders, tracing its history and impact from Britain’s streets to South Africa’s rich cultural tapestry and beyond. This rigorous, accessible study sits at the crossroads of sociology, history, and postcolonial analysis, speaking to students, researchers, policymakers, and curious readers who want a deeper understanding of inequality and the lived realities of Dalit communities worldwide. The tone is thoughtful, urgent, and hopeful, inviting you to see caste as a global issue that matters today.
Structured around a global arc, Caste: A Global Story weaves history, ethnography, and archival research into a narrative that guides the reader through diverse settings—from Britain and South Africa to the Caribbean and the Middle East. The book’s careful balance of theory and real-world case studies makes the concept of caste concrete and relatable, while raising essential questions about the impact of colonialism, religion, and nationalism on hierarchical structures. It foregrounds Dalit voices and explores Dalit–Black solidarity, connecting local struggles to a broader global anti-caste movement and inviting readers to consider cosmopolitan Dalit universalism as a path toward social justice.
After reading Caste: A Global Story, readers gain a nuanced understanding of caste as a worldwide phenomenon and feel empowered to reflect on and engage with social justice movements. The book leaves a lasting impression of cosmopolitan solidarity, inspiring readers to think differently about inequality and to consider how global perspectives can inform local action.
