{"product_id":"who-is-an-alien-kumkum-sangari-9788194126058","title":"Who Is an Alien?: Reading the Plural Through Gandhi","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlternative visions of our plural pasts are evacuated and erased, while strategies of labor import, discrimination, racialization, internal colonization, uncertain citizenship, border control, surveillance, ghettoization, the cordoning of land and resources for the few, morph and arc across the long twentieth century. The questions Gandhi asked about imperial nations and how free nations should be made remain unfinished questions at the core of casteist, racist, patriarchal and sectarian regimes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book examines Gandhi's struggle with the burden of received colonial historiography, legal systems, scriptural texts, racialized and patriarchal vocabulary in the attempt to confront colonial oppression and social exclusion. The openings and impasses, thresholds and limits, successes and failures are equally instructive when read as a series of resolved and unresolved contradictions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kumkum Sangari\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8194126053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788194126058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tulika Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kumkum Sangari","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079525986559,"sku":"9788194126058","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5a19ff5-aa29-4772-913b-57da224ffcc8.jpg?v=1685481649","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/who-is-an-alien-kumkum-sangari-9788194126058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
