I can feel the brownness of my skin, in your gaze. In your desire, to uplift the burden of my brown soul. I can feel the brownness of my skin, in your touch. In your passion, to fill the primitive depths with your light. I can feel the heat of your bomb, under my skin. In your declarations, to democratize the backward ways of my life. Inspired by my reading of Raka Shome's "Diana and Beyond."
This blog offers Mohan Dutta's reflections on the theoretical framework of the culture-centered approach, examining the interplays among Structure, Culture, and Agency in shaping marginalisation and the ways in which communities at the margins challenge structures. Writings on the blog are continually being revised to reflect the organic analysis of structure and agency.
