This volume represents the first exploration of caste in the field of
curriculum studies, challenging the ongoing silence around the issue
of caste in education and curriculum theory. Presenting comprehensive
critical examination of caste as a category of domination and
oppression in the colonial power matrix, chapters confront Eurocentric
educational epistemologies which deny the existence and influence of
caste. The book examines the impact of such silence in educational
policy, praxis, and curriculum, and draws from leading scholars to
illustrate the fluidity of power and oppression in the caste system.
By challenging historical, cultural, and institutional origins of
caste and foregrounding perspectives from outside Western
epistemological frameworks, the book pioneers a critical approach to
integrating caste in educational debate to interrupt social and
cognitive injustices. In so doing so, the volume advocates for an
alternative, non-derivative curriculum reason, through an itinerant
curriculum theory as a path toward the emergence of a critical Dalit
educational theory. As such, it makes a vital contribution for
scholars and researchers looking to refine and enhance their knowledge
of curriculum studies by highlighting the importance of theorizing
caste in the role of education.
