‘This book presents an interesting comparative analysis — broad and nuanced — between the already canonised Latin American testimonio and the autobiographical narratives of the Dalits, which, by overcoming the egocentricity of traditional autobiographical writing, are closer to testimonio as a literary genre, and record of historical memory and political involvement. In addition to similar experiences of exclusion, these essays highlight the differences: caste, diversity of languages, lack of recognition by the academia, poor dissemination. The volume creates bridges between both subaltern cultures, their narratives and imaginaries and their particular political activism, without simplistic homologations. The testimonial narrative has not disappeared, since the roots of exclusion remain; it has simply been transformed. Therein lies the importance of this book. It will be of immense interest to students of comparative literature, world literature, Latin American Studies and South Asian Studies.’
Lucrecia Méndez de Penedo, Member of the Guatemalan Academy of Language and Professor and Researcher of Latin American Literature, Rafael Landívar University, Guatemala 

‘This edited volume offers a much-needed scholarly account of the aesthetics and the politics of subaltern life in India and Latin America. It, through a comparative canvass, opens up the possibility of an epistemology of the Global South. The cross-cultural context through which the volume proceedsacquires an emancipatorythrust and suggeststhe need to address the question of caste and race/ethnicityas the precondition for the realisation of a democratic social order.’ 

Gopal Guru, Editor of Economic & Political Weekly and Professor of Social and Political Theory, Centre for Political Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India 

‘This carefully composed collective volume builds an impressive literary bridge of solidarity in the Global South by linking the autobiographical genre of the Latin American ‘testimonio’ with the life-writings of the Indian Dalits — two important literary currents that convey the political and social resistance of subaltern individuals and their communities in an intensely personal and powerful way. Both currents are thoroughly explored in this book through their literary and intentional affinities and the manifold historical interconnections of mutual readings, translations, academic fields and theoretical findings. The examination of similar and different factors of intersectional discrimination, such as caste, enhances the awareness of the structural comparability of these writings and the urgency of mutual reflection. I am convinced that these interwovenSouth–South views, which engage in a fruitful exchange in this highly committed book, contribute to the urgently needed changes of perspectives in academic and epistemological terms.’

Susanne Klengel,Professor of Latin American Literatures and Cultures, Institute of Latin American Studies, Freie Universität,Berlin, Germany

‘This important book speaks to the challenging effort to speak across languages and continents to common issues in the global south. It focuses on the powerful expression of marginalised peoples, whose self-writing is also a form of resistance to official invisibilisation.Along the way, the book makes a substantial contribution to the ongoing discussion in both Dalit and testimonio studies, where putting the two together illuminates each in new and exciting ways.The editor is to be commended for her work in bringing together an impressive group of scholars whose knowledge of many of the vernaculars reminds us that this kind of work too often languishes for lack of translation, and hence, lack of substantive analysis.’
