Summary: Are there ways to elude the caste system? Concealing Caste opens a window into the experience of women and men in India who, though born into communities stigmatiszed as 'untouchable', are perceived as 'high caste' outside the home. The stories and essays of this pathbreaking volume of Dalit literature depict lives torn by the struggle to evade discrimination, exposing - like the literature on racial passing in the united states - the everyday violence of hierarchy.
