Note

2. "Based on thorough ethnographic field work and phenomenologico-hermeneutical reflection, 'Standstill Utopias? Dalits Encountering Christianity' is an invitation to the social world of Dalit Christians. Offering a new and challenging interpretation of the predicament of Dalit Christianity in creating a new lifeworld for Dalits, the book weaves in narratives, by exploring the domains of political economy and consciousness of the subalterns. This book will remain a classic in the field of critical social sciences and Dalit Studies." "Life in broken margins is a sadhana and struggle for new hermeneutics and practice of self and social liberation. Jose Maliekal's deeply engaging study of Madigas of Konaseema presents us a moving portrayal of how primal and historical energies of creativity, critique and resistance come together for generating new dialectics of freedom. The book presents us pathways of a primordial theology of engagements which also challenges us to explore further a new primal theology of compassion and confrontation in which political economy, moral economy and spiritual impulse can come together for creation of a life of wholeness in the midst of broken fragments of domination and destruction."--Page 4 of printed paper wrapper.
