Mangubhai, Aloysius Irudayam SJ, Emma Sydenham. 264 1 $a New Delhi : $b Zubaan, $c 2020. 300 $a xii, 352 pages ; $b illustrations, map ; $c 22 cm 520 $a "The culmination of research undertaken in the rural panchayats of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, A Foot in the Door brings the voices of Dalit women to the forefront of the ongoing conversation about their political oppression. The authors examine the patriarchal and caste-based barriers to Dalit women's political participation in Panchayati Raj, explaining clearly that without a more holistic approach, the panchayats will only continue to reinforce existing and undeniably violent hierarchies of caste and gender. Dalit women's political participation remains a risky endeavor and involves very little actual transfer of power. Getting 'a foot in the door' is not enough--the affirmative action that secures a Dalit woman's right to enter the panchayats often still silences them in the process of seeking active participation. An essential read for feminist and Dalit scholars working on issues of gender, caste, and political participation, A Foot in the Door argues that there is a need for deep, systemic change at every level of governance--only then can equal and meaningful participation be ensured."--Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Methodology -- Profile of Dalit Women in Panchayati Raj -- Getting A Foot in the Door -- From Representation to Participation -- Impacting Development -- Impacting Social Relations -- Addressing Obstructions in the Panchayats. 650 0 $a Rural women $x Political activity $z Gujarat. $z Gujarat. 650 0 $a Dalits $x Political activity $z Gujarat. $z Gujarat. 650 0 $a Panchayat $z Gujarat. $z Gujarat. 650 0 $a Rural women $x Political activity $z Tamil Nadu. $z Tamil Nadu. 650 0 $a Dalits $x Political activity $z Tamil Nadu. $z Tamil Nadu. 650 0 $a Panchayat $z Tamil Nadu. $z Tamil Nadu. 650 7 $a Dalits $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887197 650 7 $a Panchayat. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051962 650 7 $a Rural women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01101902 651 7 $a India $z Gujarat. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213726 651 7 $a India $z Tamil Nadu. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208735 700 1 $a Irudayam, Aloysius, $e author. 700 1 $a Sydenham, Emma, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A77F84F638A911ED914067003BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
