Segregated Spaces and Well-Being: Evidence from Selected Dalit Colonies in Kerala
Subscribe/Renew Journal
The study evaluates the impact of geographical segregation on work and well-being of Dalits who live in colonies of Kerala. The principal research questions are: what is the nature and evolution of changes in work spaces in the wake of geographical segregation and how did the geographically segregated work spaces affect Dalits’ well-being. To address these questions an ethnographic field work has been employed by way of collecting personal narratives of colony-dwellers. The study found that deliberate segregation is the prime cause of further vulnerability among Dalits and static-negative transformation in work.
