Hardcover. Condizione: New. Professor Wankhede's life-trajectory helps me to expand my horizon, and sharpen the liberating power of empathy. I being to understand what it means for a young Dalit to resist the tyranny of hierarchiacal/oppressive practices implicit in a caste-ridden society, overcome the age-old silence, acquire a new language of resistance, strive for the light of emancipator education, and establish himself as a distinguished sociologist/educationist. This blend of biography and history, or lived-experience and rigour of analysis has given a refreshingly different meaning to the book that ought to be read by all those who have not yet lost their dreams. -Avijit Pathak, Professor of Sociology at JNU Although there are few autobiographies written by Dalit literati and activists, this is the first by a Dalit academic sociologist. It is self-reflective and not anecdotal. It provides glimpses of Dr. Ambedar's Samta Sainik Dal (SSD), a social movement for inculcating social and educational awareness among Dalits of Maharashtra during the 1950s.As a sociologist, the author provides ethnographic information of his village society in general and the Dalit habitat, in particular, social role formation among siblings, community culture and power relations in everyday social life, education institutional network in a non-metropolitan area and role of Dalits. Prof. Wankhede not only tells us his story but also his critical views on education policy and its functioning. His reflections on the present education system offer valuable Dalit perspective. The book would be useful for students and researchers of sociology and anthropology, and also, anyone who is interested to understand the lifeworld of the first generation educated Dalit. -Ghanshyam Shah, Former Professor of JNU.…

However, another important role of higher education that seems to have been more or less neglected is the need of HE for individual, communitarian and social welfare. This book attempts to depart from the debate that revolves around the need of HE for polishing skills as demanded directly and / or indirectly by the market forces. It instead tries to understand the importance of HE, the role it plays in relation to the process of marginalization and its limited and fractured availability to the marginalized.…
