Tribals in Indian Narratives
Description
The studyexplores the several factors that go into the representation of tribals in India. Dr. Yadav's work unveils a series of choices, decisions, goals and relationships, both conscious and unacknowledged, that mark the images of tribals in works by Indian novelists and anthropologists.
Representation and translation are very often touched by deeprooted imbalances in social relationships. This book examines the writings on Indian tribes for their literature and academic status and also for the impact that they leave on the actual social conditions and social reality within which the tribes exist. It attempts to view these writings against the broader context of related issues: the changing visage of cultural and gender domination, the meaning of knowledge and authenticity, and the moral/ethical authority to define and represent the marginalized.
