Overview: Examines the range of wrongs in Indian and U.S. Contexts by studying consequences of caste and race.Facilitates dialogue and deliberation across fields of study.Explores the fear of the oppressed beco.This book argues that an active memory of and grief over structural wrongs yields positive agency. Such agency generates rites of moral responsibility that serve as antidotes to violent identities and catalyze hospitable social practices. By comparing Indian and U.S. contexts of caste and race, Sunder John Boopalan proposes that wrongs today are better understood as rituals of humiliati
