CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Guest Issue of the Journal of Contemporary South Asia (2017):
Caste: Contemporary Dynamics in South Asia and Beyond
Guest editors: Opinderjit Kaur Takhar, Hugo Gorringe, Surinder S. Jodhka,
Papers are invited for a Special Issue of the Journal of Contemporary South Asia, to be published in 2017 on the theme of “Caste: Contemporary Dynamics in South Asia and Beyond”. We welcome papers which discuss the many implications that caste has on the social and political fabric of the South Asian community, both at home and in countries with well established South Asian communities.
The special issue will bring together a range of empirical studies detailing the role that caste plays in social relationships as a feature of South Asian communities both in South Asia and around the world. We are looking for papers that offer empirical and theoretical engagements with caste in its contemporary forms, and that help elucidate its relationship with identity, politics, religion and social relations.
