{"product_id":"nobodys-people","title":"Nobody's People","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat if we could imagine hierarchy not as a social ill, but as a source of social hope? Taking us into a \"caste of thieves\" in northern India, \u003ci\u003eNobody's People\u003c\/i\u003e depicts hierarchy as a normative idiom through which people imagine better lives and pursue social ambitions. Failing to find a place inside hierarchic relations, the book's heroes are \"nobody's people\": perceived as worthless, disposable and so open to being murdered with no regret or remorse. Following their journey between death and hope, we learn to perceive vertical, non-equal relations as a social good, not only in rural Rajasthan, but also in much of the world—including settings stridently committed to equality. Challenging egalo-normative commitments, Anastasia Piliavsky asks scholars across the disciplines to recognize hierarchy as a major intellectual resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54244965777752,"sku":"9781503604643","price":128.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781503604643__6764ad1d82f48.jpg?v=1738582075","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nobodys-people","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
