The Silken Swing, the Cultural Universe of Dalit Women is a path breaking book that brings to the reader the world of millions of Dalit women excluded by the caste system in India. After three years of investigation by the Indian NGO Behavioural Science Centre, the book shows how women modify patriarchal exclusion to recover, not without effort, autonomous environments in which to develop their identities.
