Justice for the Excluded and Education for Democracy in B. R. Ambedkar and A. Gramsci
Building on the author's previous works discussing Gramsci's and Ambedkar's political philosophies in favor of subalterns and Dalits as well as the concept of "spirituality" through which they affirm their full humanity, this essay explores their envisaged role of education in allowing the excluded to achieve participation in the democratic process.

Inner Life, Politics, and the Secular
When discussing the plight of subaltern groups, scholars often underline the economic and material troubles suffered by "the poor" through the perpetration of unjust exploitation, unequal distribution of wealth, and more generally, their being subjected to abuse and violence. This narrative frequently includes the means put in place by subalterns to regain a share of power, but the idea of "inner life" or "spirituality" has hardly been considered…

S'imbiatu
This essay, which is part of a wider forthcoming publication, discusses the general principles and the underlying cosmology upon which gift-giving in central Sardinia rests. Gift-sending (imbiatu) is here presented as a 'total social fact' reflecting the key role it plays in community life and the motivating force behind 'being and belonging'. If tradition (su connotu), including customary law-often in opposition to state law-has resulted in deli…

This essay discusses the politics and relevance of myth and myth making in relation to the subordination of Untouchables in South Asia. Through the case study of one particular group e the Muchi-Rishi of Bengal/ Bangladesh, traditionally skinners, leather-workers and musicians e it is argued that ex-Untouchables do not share the ideology of caste which places them on the lowest echelon of society. This is in contrast with the case of 'Untouchable…

Si la tradition (su connotu), qui inclut les lois coutumières - fréquemment…
