Anastasia Piliavsky

4.9/5 (32775 ratings)

Description:What if we could imagine hierarchy not as a social ill, but as a source of social hope? Taking us into a caste of thieves in northern India, Nobody's People depicts hierarchy as a normative idiom through which people imagine better lives and pursue social ambitions. Failing to find a place inside hierarchic relations, the book's heroes are nobody's perceived as worthless, disposable and so open to being murdered with no regret or remorse. Following their journey between death and hope, we learn to perceive vertical, non-equal relations as a social good, not only in rural Rajasthan, but also in much of the world--including settings stridently committed to equality. Challenging egalo-normative commitments, Anastasia Piliavsky asks scholars across the disciplines to recognize hierarchy as a major intellectual resource.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
