The book analyses various dimensions of subalterns and subalternity as reflected in the writings of Indian English writers and critically investigates subordination, oppression, hegemony, cultural domination, assimilation and resistance as manifested in the literary discourses. It captures the philosophy, essence, and ethos of the subalterns through literary enterprise. The first reading of the articles gives a full, enriching and fulfilling experience to the mind that craves to explore beyond the text. The scope of the book and the well-chosen sampling taken from Indian literature, its reliability, and comprehensive thought given in this direction with its vibrant discussion on contemporary literary discourses will benefit all inquisitive readers. Most of the articles recorded in this book address issues pertaining to; how literature produced in indigenous languages act as a form of rebellion and resistance, caste-based oppression and marginalization, gender inequality, and emerging Dalit sensibility and resistance. The articles in this collected volume carefully attend to the diverse critical, historical, geographical, and definitional parameters of subaltern thought. The in-depth analysis of literary texts makes it valuable for all readers.
