- Book Synopsis
- Presenting a unique East meets West subaltern history of the twentieth century, this book juxtaposes the political lives and ideas of B. R. Ambedkar and Malcolm X, homing in on their respective struggles against caste and racial discrimination. Despite the differences in their backgrounds, the two thinkeractivists had significantly overlapping worldviews, shaped by their experiences of identity-based oppression, marginalization, and institutional violence. This book explores those overlaps, with a view to analysing how Ambedkar and Malcolm X's legacies live on in civil rights movements and discourse the world over.The volume will be of interest to researchers and scholars of race, caste and discrimination studies, history, African-American studies and South Asian studies.
