In this study of the representations of Dalits in the print culture of colonial north India, Charu Gupta enters new territory by looking at images of Dalit women as both victims and vamps, the construction of Dalit masculinities, religious conversion as an alternative to entrapment in the Hindu caste system, and the plight of indentured labor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Gender of Caste\u003c\/i\u003e uses print as a critical tool to examine the depictions of Dalits by colonizers, nationalists, reformers, and Dalits themselves and shows how differentials of gender were critical in structuring patterns of domination and subordination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charu Gupta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295995645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295995649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.30d","brand":"Charu Gupta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064817791231,"sku":"9780295995649","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7b669a61-175f-4c7a-958d-7b37f4cb8495.jpg?v=1768671229","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gender-of-caste-charu-gupta-9780295995649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
