“To resist, first we must see”
This study explores attitudes expressed by students at several higher education institutions in India, focusing specifically on perceptions of caste dynamics. Through focus groups and follow-up interviews, we sought to understand whether upper-caste students were open to relating caste background and possessing a degree of privilege. It became clear that these students are not routinely invited to share their thoughts about caste in an informal o…
Invisibility of caste in everyday campus life
The increasing centrality of caste as an empirical, political, and epistemological category among South Asian Americans has been attracting wider academic attention in the social sciences. Caste is an ancient hierarchical system that was nourished by class antagonism. While diasporic dominant caste members tend to downplay and invisibilize caste, Dalit diasporic community members are likely to experience hierarchical power dynamics. Although the …
Transformation through Teen Camp
Programs in the global south with international backing that help economically marginalized girls gain a sense of agency have been rightly criticized for ignoring structural barriers to girls’ progress. Nevertheless, connecting adolescent girls with knowledge about rights and assertiveness training increases their belief they can and should stand up for themselves. A pilot qualitative study of an empowerment camp begun by a local group in Telanga…

To draw light, you need shadow’
Women in India cope with an ongoing sense of precarity owing to the frequency of street harassment and sexual violence; this impacts their freedom to travel and sense of autonomous agency. The December 2012 Nirbhaya case, the rape and fatal injury of a Delhi medical student, returned the subject of rape to public discourse leading to mass protests and, eventually, some stronger anti-rape laws; however, #metoo allegations surface weekly, and artis…
Ontologies of Blame and the Cultural Value of Accountability
Uniting the perspective of narrative psychology with feminist and narrative criminology, we analyzed interviews with 58 formerly incarcerated women. We identified four distinct ontologies of blame that the women used to characterize the events, actors, and circumstances that resulted in their incarceration. We argue that these four ontologies of blame—personal responsibility, socioeconomic exclusion, relational caregiving associations, and compro…

Mail-order brides’ in popular culture
Over the past decade clever marketing and wider access to the internet has led to the exponential growth of ‘mail-order’ marriage industries, vastly increasing the number of women who migrate for marriage using these commercial services. Taken within the context of global predatory capitalism, such phenomenon is of interest in that it appears to convene in its dynamics the intersecting operation of gender and class inequality, sexism, racism, and…
India's Bandit Queen
Evolving Masculinities in Recent Stories by South Asian American Women
South Asian American women's stories are primarily written from one female character's point of view; few stories by these writers have explored Indian men's conflicts as they work through internalized colonialist, consumerist and patriarchal norms. Two recent exceptions are Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies (1999) and Meera Nair's Video and Other Stories (2002). These authors depict middle-class male householders struggling amidst the inva…
