The Subaltern Indian Woman - Prem Misir Gebunden

This book focuses on subjugated indentured Indian women who are constantly faced with race gender caste and class oppression and inequality on overseas European-owned plantations but who are also armed with latent links to the women's abolition movements in the homeland. Also examining their post-indenture life it employs a paradigm of male-dominated Indian women in India at the margins of an enduringly patriarchal society a persisting backdrop to the huge 19th century post-slavery movement of the agricultural indentured workforce drawn largely from India. This book depicts the antithet ical and contradictory explanations for the indentured Indian women's cries degradation and dehumanization and how the politics of change and control impacted their social organization and its legacy.The book owes its origins to the 2017 centennial commemorative event celebrating 100 years of the abolition of the indenture system of Indian labor that victimized and dehumanized Indians from 1834 through 1917.
