About the Book
This volume delves into the role of popular culture and oral traditions as significant mediums for expression in Bihar and Jharkhand. The book emphasizes how these cultural forms became a space for multiple articulations: from the expression of marginalization to acts of resistance and subversion. The region's folk traditions provide a unique lens through which one can observe the interplay between culture, power, and identity, particularly among marginalized communities.
The work explores the dynamics of how oral narratives, songs, and folklore contributed to shaping social consciousness and political discourse, becoming key forms of resistance in the face of socio-political struggles. Through this lens, the volume offers an in-depth examination of the ways in which cultural traditions served as tools for subverting dominant narratives and asserting community identities.
