| Summary: | Citizenship in a Caste Polity is a work in citizenship studies, a field that lies productively at the nexus of anthropology, political science, and history. The focus is on the Indian state of Goa, and in particular on contestations over language in the period after the region passed from Portuguese to Indian rule. Fernandes provides a compelling history of the processes by which Konkani came to be recognized as the official language of Goa in 1987, and by which the Antruzi (or Antruz) dialect and Devanagari script promoted by Goa's powerful Gaud Saraswat Brahmin (GSB) community came to be accepted as normative, to the exclusion of other dialects and scripts., |
