{"product_id":"nobodys-people-1","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\n","brand":"Anastasia Piliavsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572025327798,"sku":"9781503614208","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781503614208_e41c6ced-dbfa-4283-a1fb-d5465a39c842.jpg?v=1727354786","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/nobodys-people-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
