Recent Scholarly Perspectives on Caste
The UHM Center for South Asian Studies has accordingly developed this small project to introduce junior and non-specialist members of the UH and broader research community to the notion of ‘caste’ as a critical and contested concept. We hope these preliminary resources will prove useful to those who want to take caste into the classroom.
The following are Recent Scholarly Perspectives on Castes:
