Description
Practicing Caste offers a fresh perspective on the traditional categories used to discuss caste studies. By exploring phenomenology, structuralism, and poststructuralism, Aniket Jaaware sheds light on the ethical relations that caste entails, particularly around its injunctions concerning physical contact.
The resulting insights provide new ways of thinking about sociality, with implications not only for India but also for a broader planetary understanding. This thought-provoking work challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of caste and its impact on our relationships with others.
