Gyanendra Pandey compares the historical struggles of two geographically disparate populations - Indian Dalits (once known as Untouchables) and African Americans - to examine the multiple dimensions of prejudice in two leading democracies, revealing the contradictory history of promise and denial that is common to both the official narratives of these nations and the ideologies of many opposition movements.
