Taking us into a \"caste of thieves\" in northern India, \u003ci\u003eNobody's People\u003c\/i\u003e depicts hierarchy as a normative idiom through which people imagine better lives and pursue social ambitions. Failing to find a place inside hierarchic relations, the book's heroes are \"nobody's people\" perceived as worthless, disposable and so open to being murdered with no regret or remorse. Following their journey between death and hope, we learn to perceive vertical, non-equal relations as a social good, not only in rural Rajasthan, but also in much of the world--including settings stridently committed to equality. Challenging egalo-normative commitments, Anastasia Piliavsky asks scholars across the disciplines to recognize hierarchy as a major intellectual resource.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anastasia Piliavsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503614204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503614208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Anastasia Piliavsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941886984447,"sku":"9781503614208","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6a6dde14-0b87-4bab-b071-cd6a2594c775.jpg?v=1681455530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nobodys-people-anastasia-piliavsky-9781503614208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
