We Were Adivasis: Aspiration In An Indian Scheduled Tribe
Tags: Megan Moodie

Anthropologist Megan Moodie examines the Indian state's relationship to 'scheduled tribes', or adivasis - historically oppressed groups that are now entitled to affirmative action quotas in educational and political institutions. Through a deep ethnography of the Dhanka in Jaipur, Moodie brings readers inside the creative imaginative work of these long-marginalised tribal communities.
