Epistemic Resistance

The book Epistemic Resistance: Discourse from the Margin is a collection of Miscellaneous Articles on those writers from the margins who have used creative expression as a form of political, social and cultural intervention. The anthology critically engages with colonial, casteist, patriarchal, and capitalist power structures that have shaped and controlled the direction of dominant discourse and silenced, overlooked, and often deliberately ignored voices of marginalised communities. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the book examines how marginalised groups-such as Dalits, Adivasis, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and ethnic minorities-have created their own spaces of articulation and resistance. This book is crucial in reimagining knowledge from the periphery. It not only documents pain and resistance but also celebrates resilience, memory, and cultural continuity. As an alternative discourse on history, it can pave the way for meaningful discussions and actions.
