Yet beneath a veneer of modernity, old prejudices endured, including the treatment of the Dalits. Even as Indians engaged with various aspects of modern life, including the Marxist discourse of class, caste distinctions played a pivotal role in determining who was excluded from the city's economic transformations. Labor historian Juned Shaikh documents the symbiosis between industrial capitalism and the caste system, mapping the transformation of the city, as urban planners marked Dalit neighborhoods as slums that needed to be demolished in order to build a modern Bombay. Drawing from rare sources written by the urban poor and Dalits in the Marathi language-including novels, poems, and manifestos-Outcaste Bombay examines how language and literature became a battleground for cultural politics. Through its careful scrutiny of one city's complex social fabric, this study provides an illuminating look at issues that remain vital for labor activists and urban planners around the world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The Housing Question and Caste, 1896-1950 -- Marxism, Language, and Social Hierarchy, 1920-1950 -- Urban Planning and Cultural Politics, 1945-1971 -- Revolutionary Lineages of Dalit Literature, 1950-19720 -- Slums, Sex, and the Field of Power, 1960-1980. 650 0 $a Dalits $z Mumbai. $z Mumbai. 651 0 $a Mumbai (India) 650 7 $a Dalits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887187 651 7 $a India $z Mumbai. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802300 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shaikh, Juned. $t Outcaste Bombay. $d Seattle : University of Washington Press, 2021 $z 9780295748511 $w (DLC) 2020044312 830 0 $a Global South Asia. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013807.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4884C6664EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
