About the Book:
Ambedkar: Sonic Imagination of Casteless Utopia by Yogesh Maitreya is a powerful, genre-blurring work that reimagines B. R. Ambedkar through sound, memory, and radical thought. It traces his journey by looking at the work, time and life of fifteen selected musicians across seven decades, and provides fresh perspectives to not only look at anti-caste movement in Maharashtra, but it also offers fresh perspectives to understand the music of anti-caste movement that shaped Dr Ambedkar into sonic imagination of casteless utopia over the last seven decades.
About the Author:
Yogesh Maitreya is a poet, writer and publisher. The author of nine books, he travels across people’s realities and utopias they possess and strive for. In the form of meeting people in Europe and India who are keen to understand Dr Ambedkar, he feels that despite their number being so small, there still exist people in the world who are constantly working in their own ways to make the world a just and beautiful place.
