Kennedy, P. John Joseph
Minority discourse In india narrating centers & peripheries / P. John Joseph Kennedy - New Delhi : Viva Books Private Limited c2017 - xix, 94 p. : 21 cm.
First Published 2017
Minority discourses provide differential, conceptual and theoretical frameworks for questions of identity based on gender, caste, race, class and ethnicity, as well as political and linguistic factors. They underline social and cultural pluralism in contemporary liberal democratic societies which often homogenize citizenship while simultaneously upholding discursive master-narratives that privilege domination and subordination by majority groups. Modern secular states attempt to transcend pluralism through principles of social cohesion while at the same time ironically organizing ideological categories based on prevailing ruling classes.
