![]() These works have been translated into other Indian languages and English to spread awareness across the country, and sometimes, build solidarities across languages and regions. It is through the autobiographical writings of the first-generation Dalit writers that readers in Marathi, Tamil, and Hindi have become aware of what a Dalit’s life was/is really like in independent India. Autobiographical writings constitute a significant subgenre of Dalit literature, conveying the firsthand, raw experience of the writers who were, themselves, subjected to the scorn and contempt of the people who had no other qualities or distinctions in life except that they were born into upper-caste families. In recent years, a vibrant field of Dalit literature has appeared in India, and some works are beginning to be translated into English. “Dalit” is the term used to describe the nearly 180 million Indians who were placed at the bottom of the traditional caste system. ![]() ![]() In that Country the laws of religion, the laws of the land, and the laws of honour, are all united and consolidated in one, and bind a man eternally to the rules of what is called his caste.-Edmund Burke New York: Columbia University Press, 2008. ![]()

The analysis further reveals tensions between different texts’ appeals for recognition, and suggests that these tensions problematize the claim that solidarity will emerge from sympathetic engagement with trauma victims. It explores how novelists locate traumatic affects in the body, and suggests that Frantz Fanon’s model of racial trauma in Black Skin, White Masks and The Wretched of the Earth remains essential for the interpretation of postcolonial texts, including those to which it is not usually applied. ![]() It surveys four areas of postcolonial trauma, examining works that narrate traumatic experiences of the colonized, colonizers, perpetrators and proletarians.

I was motivated to create this series as a white German woman married to an African American man living in the American South, but from the perspective that if we had been born a generation earlier our relationship would have been illegal, if not cause to be lynched. At the Hands of Persons Unknown explores how trees have been silent witnesses to the lynchings of women in the United States. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then he meets Nikki, a fiery Latina girl, at his brother's wedding, and she suddenly becomes the ultimate challenge that thrills him.
