Prashad is a new leader,
By A Customer
This review is from: Untouchable Freedom: A Social History of a Dalit Community (Paperback)
Vijay Prashad's book shows his versatility across topics. His other books look at race and immigration in the United States, as he successfully debunks the model minority myth for Asian Americans, but he can also trace the patterns of global capitalism in his book "Fat Cats..." This book is from a different perspective however. It is a grassroots look at the oppressive caste system through the eyes of a Dalit community. This is a relevant study because struggles like these are going on all around India today. Prashad is firmly in the vanguard of today's struggles against oppression.
