This volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach to rethink the multiple dimensions of marginality - political, societal, economic, cultural, legal and spatial. It explores their new representations in colonial and post-colonial India. Departing from extant analyses of experiences of marginalization in diverse social groups, it proposes to problematize the conceptualization of marginality, focusing on its evolution through space and time. A relational position, marginality, it is argued, presupposes a confrontation with centrality or the 'mainstream' within a common discourse of knowledge and power. The volume emphasizes that the process of marginalization is not a 'marginal' phenomenon and draws attention to the historical processes which determine, establish and perpetuate the margins.
