Requests:  0 Summary:  "Born into a "formerly untouchable manual-scavenging family in small-town India," Yashica Dutt was taught from a young age to not appear "Dalit looking." Although prejudice against Dalits, who compose 25% of the population, has been illegal since 1950, caste-ism in India is alive and well. Blending her personal history with extensive research and reporting, Dutt provides an incriminating analysis of caste's influence in India over everything from entertainment to judicial systems and how this discrimination has carried over to US institutions. Published in India in 2019 to acclaim, this expanded edition includes 2 new chapters covering how the caste system traveled to the US, its history here, and the continuation of bias by South Asian communities in professional sectors. Amid growing conversations about caste discrimination prompting US institutions including Harvard University, Brandeis University, the University of California system, and the NAACP to add caste as a protected category to their policies, Dutt's work sheds essential light on the significant influence caste-ism has across many aspects of US society." -- "For readers of Caste, the coming-of-age story of a Dalit individual that illuminates systemic injustice in India and its growing impact on U.S. society"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, SSP   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Dutt Du Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 305.5688 Dutt Du Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Dutt Du Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
