{"product_id":"dynamics-of-caste-and-law-dag-erik-berg-9781108489874","title":"Dynamics of Caste and Law: Dalits, Oppression and Constitutional Democracy in India","description":"Dynamics of Caste and Law breaks new ground in understanding how caste and law relate in India's democratic order. Caste has become a visible phenomenon often associated with discrimination, inequality and politics in India and globally. India's constitutional democracy has had a remarkable goal of creating equality in a context of caste. Despite constitutional promises with equal opportunities for the lower castes and outlawing of untouchability at the time of independence, recurring atrocities and inadequate implementation of law have called for rethinking and legal change. This book sheds new light on why caste oppression persists by using new theoretical perspectives as well as Bhimrao Ambedkar's concepts of the caste system. Focusing on struggles among India's Dalits, the castes formerly known as untouchables, the book draws on a rich material and explains, among other things, mechanisms of oppression and how powerful actors may gain influence in institutions of law and state.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dag-Erik Berg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108489877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108489874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Dag-Erik Berg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45476578427135,"sku":"9781108489874","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fad47364-9266-4238-92e7-5d498b3cbd9c.jpg?v=1715909411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dynamics-of-caste-and-law-dag-erik-berg-9781108489874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
