Synopsis

Though many of the pre-existing processes of marginalisation are getting weakened with the expansion of the democratic and liberal forces, several new dimensions of marginalisation are in the making and old ones are also getting reinforced in the wake of globalisation. This collection of essays with reputed scholars from India, United States of America, United Kingdom and the Czech Republic critically examines the changing forms and dimensions of marginalisation in a globalised world, the emerging nature of intertwining of caste, race and gender inequality with marginalisation, the nature and forms of marginalisation of the tribes, dalits, religious minorities, peasants and children. Also the middle class, new service users in contemporary society, and the process of articulation of protest of the marginalised at the grass roots. This collection would be of immense use to the students, researchers, teachers of sociology, political science, economics, history, social psychology and development studies, and also to the civil society activists, planners, executives and politicians dealing with the issues of social development, marginalisation and social exclusion.
