Tracing Kodava Women’s Histories
Feminist historiography foregrounds questions about the historical representation of women and the use of various tools of inquiry. The methodological challenges posed by these questions become particularly pronounced when attempting to recover the lived historical experiences of women from small agricultural and forest communities who remain marginal to mainstream history.

Indicating the ‘politics of knowledge generation’, feminist scholarship has contended that mainstream social sciences/humanities do not articulate women’s knowledge or their experiences of reality. This struggle to integrate women’s voices/experiences raises serious epistemological questions that fun…
