Know about the book -

Practicing Caste is written by Aniket Jaaware and published by Fordham Univ Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0823282279 (ISBN 10) and 9780823282272 (ISBN 13).

Practicing Caste attempts a fundamental break from the tradition of caste studies, showing the limits of the historical, sociological, political, and moral categories through which it has usually been discussed. Engaging with the resources phenomenology, structuralism, and poststructuralism offer to our thinking of the body, Jaaware helps to illuminate the ethical relations that caste entails, especially around its injunctions concerning touching. The resulting insights offer new ways of thinking about sociality that are pertinent not only to India but also to thinking the common on a planetary basis.
