The book aims to address as well as understand the dominion of marginality from multiple perspectives as well as locations. At present, when the control and surveillance of the common mass by the dominant and powerful groups is increasing, it becomes essential to notice the issues and assaults that are faced by the ones who are powerless. Today, when the space of open and honest dialogue is shrinking by the day, it becomes imperative to take note of avenues that are available to the marginal groups to express their concerns. The edited anthology is an attempt to foreground the violence and violation faced by the minorities across spectrums. The compiled book covers issues to do with gender, sexuality, caste, class, refugees, art and resistance, marginality and cinema, student politics, mob lynching and the policy of targeting the ones who raise their voice against oppression. The book is divided into four sections to create a cohesive framework while covering issues from multiple sites of conflict. It also delves around the discourse of body in its multiplicity while taking up the issue of Anthropocene. This anthology is a step towards the requisite to continue the conversation about and around the domain of marginality.
