“Caste identity” as a book category features works—across nonfiction, fiction, memoir, history, sociology, anthropology, and policy—that explore how caste-based hierarchies and belonging shape people’s sense of self, social relations, opportunities, and cultural expression. Centered largely on South Asia yet attentive to diasporic and comparative contexts, these books examine the origins and evolution of caste systems; lived experiences of discrimination, privilege, and mobility; intersections with gender, religion, class, and migration; and the politics of representation. The category spans academic studies, reportage, oral histories, and literature that foreground marginalized voices, document social movements and legal reforms, and illuminate both the harms of caste oppression and the resilience, solidarity, and visions for justice that challenge it.
