Down memory lane: representations of domestic workers in middle class personal narratives of colonial bengal.
|
In the last decades of the twentieth century, the reasons for the long lack of popular representation can be said to fall within the realm of common knowledge. We are aware of how society was structured in past times, of who wrote and read and who didn't, of the cultural consequences of unequal power. Knowing all this, we are likely to assume that the dominators have monopolized the power to represent, while the dominated have no option but to endure passively through centuries of abusive synecdoche.
