Discourse, democracy, and difference : perspectives on community, politics, and culture

This book attempts to re-engage the idea of the minor in the context of democracy and difference by way of revisiting a diverse range of conceptual frameworks, disciplinary formations, texts, and genres. It is structured around three aspects: the first focuses on minorities in the context of colonial modernity, democracy, and difference, secularism and communalism as well as of the Constitution and citizenship. The second aspect involves gathering other resources, readings of familiar text that might feed into a history of the minor. The third aspect is concerned with socio-cultural dimension.
