Review

"A welcome addition to the growing literature on the Meos, this book charts new ground." -- Yoginder Sikand, JRAS

Review
Mayaram's work on the Muslim Meo is a significant contribution to studies of subaltern dissent. She focuses on the texts recited by professional bardists from another caste, permitting the Meo to affirm their own identity against the Other of the state and giving them a meaningful view of their own past. This work should interest scholars of subaltern studies and those interested in oral literature and the relation of myth to history.
