Now, however, there are voices representing millions of Dalits - people who
certainly do speak for themselves, but many of whom cannot write for
themselves, and would not be published if they did. Some of those voices,
translated from Tamil into English, are contained in this volume, along with
an extensive introduction. Each of the nine Dalit authors collected here has
contributed an essay on his or her own experience as a Dalit writer; seven of
them also contributed previously unpublished short stories or poems. Their
works often display an in-yourface character, but there are also subtle
nuances and carefully drawn characters and situations. Dalit literature is
fresh and new, and old and stale, all at the same time. It arises directly out
of lived experiences in an unjust world.
