Book Summary
About the Book: A History of Hierarchy: Caste and Class in India
Where do the structures that bind Indians come from? Indian society is a
complex collision of ethnicities, castes, classes, creeds and tribes. The most
intractable lines are those of caste and class. Often conflated, they are
distinct material mechanisms. Caste emerged in antiquity as tribal
food-gatherers were integrated into food-producing agricultural societies, a
system later hardened and transformed by the demands of a developing feudal
economy. Class, existing since the dawn of surplus production, took its modern,
predatory form through industrial capitalist advancement.
