Requests:  0 Summary:  "The stunning true story of an untouchable family who become teachers, and one, a poet and revolutionary. Like one in six people in India, Sujatha Gidla was born an untouchable. While most untouchables are illiterate, her family was educated by Canadian missionaries in the 1930s, making it possible for Gidla to attend elite schools and move to America at the age of twenty-six. It was only then that she saw how extraordinary--and yet how typical--her family history truly was. Her mother, Manjula, and uncles Satyam and Carey were born in the last days of British colonial rule. They grew up in a world marked by poverty and injustice, but also full of possibility. In the slums where they lived, everyone had a political side, and rallies, agitations, and arrests were commonplace. The Independence movement promised freedom. Yet for untouchables and other poor and working people, little changed. Satyam, the eldest, switched allegiance to the Communist Party. Gidla recounts his incredible life--how he became a famous poet, student, labor organizer, and founder of a left-wing guerrilla movement. And Gidla charts her mother's battles with caste and women's oppression. Page by page, Gidla takes us into a complicated, close-knit family as they desperately strive for a decent life and a more just society. A moving portrait of love, hardship, and struggle, Ants Among Elephants is also that rare thing: a personal history of modern India told from the bottom up"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.5688 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Gida Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.5688 Gi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
