Authored by Bama and Translated by Malini Seshadri
In Just One Word, Bama takes us into the spaces that appear innocent and artless, but where, in truth, hate and prejudice bubble. Bama’s writings embody Dalit feminism and celebrate the inner strength of the subaltern woman, in the throes of caste domination and social discrimination. Painting portraits of unforgettable characters, detailing innocent pleasures and everyday deceits, the stories in this collection are a mirror to her compelling insight into human nature.
