This volume discusses and theorizes cultures of narratives and knowledge production that shape the system of âCultureâ which has been arguably the greatest epoch of our civilization. The discernible and increasing importance of nativity and indigeneity in India and elsewhere has underscored the urgency of framing the major contemporary issues and debates that constitute this field.

This book locates the marginalized/alternative narratives in society on the backdrop of social oppression and exclusion. Subjects include but are not limited to oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, and the arts. In doing so it will take into account the ârepresentativeâ aspect of literature as it is by ârepresentationâ in a text or talk that we assign meaning to diverse groups, social practices, events, etc. This book brings to the fore the voices of the marginalised and the oppressed whereby the reader will be able to recognise the conditions behind the individual voices and thus with empathy as well as knowledge of the true self will they be able to fight the ignorance and prejudice surrounding the lives of the marginalised people. Since discourses surrounding marginality, especially in the Indian context, are few, this book adds to the critical scholarship on marginality studies and thus tries to project the issues to a global audience.

The volume will be of great interest to students, researchers, and educators in the fields of literary studies, cultural studies, linguistics, digital humanities, medical humanities, and pedagogy, social sciences, cultural anthropology, literature, and South Asian studies. It will also serve as a valuable resource for cultural preservationists, and general readers.
