President Barack Obama and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar were not just impeccable social reformers, but they were also unprecedented leaders for their time. It is difficult to compare them, but in every regard they were constitutional experts and trendsetters.They put their theoretical education into practical organizing: President Obama organized the very first true social media presidential campaign in history; Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar created two political parties, one for the labor classes, and one for Dalits (both which represent the subaltern classes). Nonetheless, both leaders stand on the shoulder of giants whether that was Civil Rights icons as Bayard Rustin or Harold Washington or social reformer as the Buddha and FDR.They sought to live up to the values not just of the US Constitution, but also of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity which is commonly derived by many great people in history.Moreover, they predicted and forecasted many of the problems which I outline such as the dangers of tribalism.

Subaltern is an adjective that means of a lower status.  Our word of the day comes from the prefix S-U-B for ‘below' and the Latin word alternus (ALL ter noose) which means ‘every other.' Initially used as a rank in the British army, subaltern soon came to be used more broadly in reference to anyone below someone else's status. Here's an example: My boss at the restaurant wasn't the easiest to get along with. When dealing with the lowly wait staff, he seemed to act as if he was working with subaltern people.

As the Global South rapidly urbanizes, millions of people have migrated from the countryside to urban slums, which now house one billion people worldwide. The transformative potential of urbanization hinges on whether and how poor migrants are integrated into city politics. Popular and scholarly accounts paint migrant slums as exhausted by dispossession, subdued by local dons, bought off by wily politicians, or polarized by ethnic appeals. Migrants and Machine Politics shows how slum residents in India routinely defy such portrayals, actively constructing and wielding political machine networks to demand important, albeit imperfect, representation and responsiveness within the country's expanding cities. Drawing on years of pioneering fieldwork in India's slums, including ethnographic observation, interviews, surveys, and experiments, Adam Michael Auerbach and Tariq Thachil reveal how migrants harness forces of political competition—as residents, voters, community leaders, and party workers—to sow unexpected seeds of accountability within city politics. This multifaceted agency provokes new questions about how political networks form during urbanization. In answering these questions, this book overturns longstanding assumptions about how political machines exploit the urban poor to stifle competition, foster ethnic favoritism, and entrench vote buying. By documenting how poor migrants actively shape urban politics in counterintuitive ways, Migrants and Machine Politics sheds new light on the political consequences of urbanization across India and the Global South.

Introduction: In a thought-provoking lecture at Jamaica Theological Seminary in Caribbean Thought, the exploration of Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective took center stage. The aim was to trace and revisit the currents and works that have shaped the Caribbean region since the seminal publication of "Arawaks to Africans" by Robert Green and S. Hamber in 1979. This lecture not only presented an outline of influential Caribbean works and thinkers but also delved into their influences, emphasizing the profound impact they have had on the development of Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and the interpretation of its history. Questioning Narratives: Greenwood's Accounts and European Influence: The lecture began by questioning the accounts put forth by Robert Greenwood in "Arawaks to Africans." Greenwood's narrative, which seemingly portrays the Taino people as disconnected from Africans and their presence in the Caribbean, raised concerns about the influence of European history and philosophy on his interpretation of history. It challenged the notion that the Taino people had been completely wiped out and dismissed any connection they might have had with Africans. A Skeptical Outlook and Critical Re-examination: The lecture urged attendees to critically examine Greenwood's accounts and approach them with a skeptical mindset. It emphasized the need to reassess our understanding of history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century. By challenging prevailing narratives, we can uncover hidden connections, untold stories, and alternative perspectives that offer a more comprehensive understanding of Caribbean history and its people. Influential Caribbean Works and Thinkers: The lecture also provided an illuminating list of Caribbean works and thinkers whose contributions have shaped the region and influenced its trajectory. By exploring these influential voices, the lecture aimed to shed light on the rich intellectual heritage that has been instrumental in defining Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. The expanded information about their influences served as a testament to their enduring impact and relevance. The Importance of Reconnecting with History: Revisiting Caribbean history from a subaltern perspective is vital for the Caribbean community's self-reinvention and progress. By reevaluating and critically analyzing the narratives that have shaped our understanding of the past, we can challenge dominant paradigms and empower marginalized voices. Only through this reconnection with history can we forge a stronger, more inclusive identity that embraces the complexities of our shared heritage. Conclusion: The lecture on the subaltern view of Caribbean history provided a compelling platform to reexamine the region's past. By critically questioning established narratives, particularly those influenced by European history and philosophy, attendees were encouraged to challenge prevailing assumptions and explore alternative perspectives. The outlined list of influential Caribbean works and thinkers showcased the profound impact these voices have had on shaping Caribbean life, philosophy, thought, and historical interpretation. Ultimately, this lecture highlighted the importance of critically reevaluating our history to reinvent ourselves in the 21st century and forge a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of the Caribbean's rich cultural tapestry.

Alyssa: [00:00:00] Hello everybody and welcome to the Women of Ambition podcast. I'm your host, Alyssa Calder Hulme, and today we're gonna do something that we haven't done for a little while now, and that is a PostPod, and this is where we. Look at the last podcast that got published and digested a little bit, talk about it, contextualize some things.  We had such a fantastic time tracking together, Natalie and I, and there just really wasn't time to dig into some of the more complex ideas and some of the sources that we were drawing on, or, or I was drawing on really in my questioning. So I wanted to share some of those today because these authors and these people that we're drawing from, especially in looking at Latina ambition, are really incredible Chicano feminists.  That I've really enjoyed learning and studying with. So I'm gonna share some of those citations today and discuss a little bit more about some of the vocabulary and some of the themes that are used there, because I think it's useful and really helpful to hear the voices [00:01:00] of the people that are coming up with these theories and these ideas to describe the experience of so many people. So here's a little synopsis of. Four different texts that have been really helpful for me. Okay. So the first text that I wanna look at is called Methodology of the Oppressed, and that's by Chela Sandoval. And this is a really interesting mapping that Sandoval does of us feminism's feminists of color, and she shows this differential mode of consciousness that she shows is located in these women of color and that their unique positions and perspectives and abilities and experiences as women of color in the United States gives them this really unique angle and existence in these in-between spaces. And she says that the, these perspectives are so essential and she, and she shows it like this is. She proves it in this essay. It's really fantastic. But we need these [00:02:00] perspectives of women of color because they live in these liminal spaces and they, out of necessity and out of creativity and out of survival, end up what, this is a quote, weaving between and among oppositional idol ideologies. And it's. I love that concept and that like visual of weaving in-between spaces and things to kind of create like a new tapestry of color and meaning and blending things together that other people who don't have that perspective wouldn't be able to do and create. And it's a very heavy text. Like it, it's a very technical, but it's really it felt really inspiring to me because it's showing how. Feminism can be done with an intersectional lens and how it can be a place of creation and insight and hope in a way that like white feminisms in the United States really can't do.[00:03:00] It really does take all of us to have quality and to have. You know, have everybody's needs met. We have to have all the different perspectives and these feminists, women of color, how this really unique perspective is being some of the most disenfranchised populations in the United States, where their ideas and their perspectives are really going to make it better for everybody.  The next text that I wanna look at is called Monstrosity in Everyday Life, Theories in Flesh and Transformational Politics. And that's written by Robert, Robert Gutierrez-Perez. And this is another one of these really cool concepts nepantleras. And remember, my accent is awful. I haven't spoken Spanish out loud in like a decade.  They are the people that dwell in that in between space. And Robert goes into detail about how they mediate the borderlands and the borderlands is kind of the topic of our [00:04:00] last episode with Natalie. So. Mediate the borderlands, and that is in the physical spaces that they live in. And having borders of countries cross through spaces where people are living and people are forced to literally cross a border.  But also that metaphorical border that we talked about that is navigating different spaces. And then, Robert goes into de detail about how nepantleras have to live with contradiction and how they choose to be bridge makers in a way that is subversive. It's a, it's a method for survival, but it's also a way that deconstructs a lot of the imposed limits of, of like western colonization capitalism, all these things that try and put people in a box. And nepantleras are people that hold intersectional identities. Can cross these different spaces and can [00:05:00] be viewed as monsters for doing this crossing spaces, but can take that identity to then make it something that is empowering and transformative. And a way that, again, is that like subversive method for existing in the world and, and making it better. Okay, the next text, we're gonna go through these real quick cuz they're so great. And they are, they are dense, but I really think it's important to share them. This is Borderlands/ La Frontera: the New Mestiza, and it's by Gloria Anzaldúa, who is another fantastic Latina feminist author. Highly, highly recommend And in this text Anzaldúa talks about borderland dwellers and how they hone what we referenced in the podcast as a sixth sense, and she calls it La Facultad.  And that is that awareness of the social context that [00:06:00] develops throughout the life of Latina women as a means of self-preservation. And. In that process, she goes into kind of the, the darker side of that. We've, we talked a lot about the positive side of that with Natalie. The humor, the creativity, the bonding, the community B making that can be there. Anzaldua talks though about what can be lost in that cultivation cuz it is kind of a forced cultivation. I would almost say the way that the Anzaldua talks about it at least is kind of like a, a trauma response is how I would describe it. So Anzaldua says that what is lost in the cultivation of lafa is our innocence, our knowing ways, and our safe and easy ignorance. And so having to develop that sixth sense, that awareness is what keeps in, in Anzaldua eyes Latinas safe and gives them that superpower that we talked about. But it also comes at a cost that can be really heavy [00:07:00] but. As we heard in our last episode, it can be a place of hope and creation and of new thoughts, and that's where this idea of US women of color, feminisms being able to come in and show us things that maybe I wouldn't be able to see based on my social location and my level of privilege. And so it can be this really positive building thing and it can also be this really, really heavy thing. And I think what Natalie was saying is that's where community comes in. That's really, really important, especially in the Latinx community. Having each other and having people that can kind of lean on each other with that. And that's where. In terms of like ambition, because this is, is a podcast on ambition. All of those different social locations and identities and like abilities can. Come together in really beautiful ways, but they can also be locations of disenfranchisement and struggle and imposed and [00:08:00] contradictory expectations and can then pose more obstacles in maybe presenting. A way that is considered to be more masculine or to be outside of the cultural norm or to be transgressive of crossing those borderlands if you consider gender stereotypes and gender roles, and if you're crossing that one way or another you're gonna be. It's gonna be rough. There's gonna be resistance to that. And it can also be this place of incredible creation and growth. The last text I wanna talk about, we didn't really go into it a lot, but we kind of referenced this population, and I'm still kind of chewing with this idea because there is a lot of. Disagreement about this term and it, it's not, not necessarily a new term, but it's still being discussed. Next text I wanna look at is Chicana Latina Testimonios Mapping the Methodological Pedagogical and Political [00:09:00] political mouthful. And that is by Dolores Delgado Bernal. Rebecca Burciaga, Judith Flores Carmona. And this was published in 2017 and it's a response to another author Spivak, who coined the term subaltern. And that Subaltern is one who the dominant powers have rendered as a person who doesn't matter, isn't worth listening to. And as they're not being understood, one who does not have a platform to speak from. And originally, Spivak said that the subaltern are these people that cannot be heard or really. My interpretation is that they're saying things all the time, but the dominant society, the people with power are not listening. So these people who are not being heard and understood. Are stuck until they are given a platform. And even that term given is problematic until they can make their voice heard, they are disenfranchised. But what Bernal et al., all those [00:10:00] authors, that's what at all means. What all they responded with is that even when Chicana and Latina scholars are in the academia, are in the public eye, that because of their social location that they are continually not understood and not listened to and not heard Thus, They are still subaltern and even when they technically have a platform or they are published or whatever it is, and so it's another example of this like really complex identity of not being seen, not being heard, not being taken seriously. Maybe it is because people don't know what to do with you because you inhabit multiple locations or maybe just what you're saying. Comes from such a unique positionality, and it is looking in places that most people aren't seeing that we don't want to hear. And so these are some of the, the different ideas I've been thinking with and looking at the really innovative ways that Chicana feminists and Latinas are [00:11:00] showing up in the world and exhibiting ambition in ways that maybe the rest of us. Aren't ready for. And you know what? We need to get ready for it. And we need to be supporting everybody who wants to be doing awesome things, even if it's in ways that are surprising to us. Even if it, they are weaving things together in ways that we don't expect, even if they're bringing a perspective to the surface that has been in the shadows for our, our own lived experience.  And those, those borderland dwellers that can live with contradiction and can be the bridge makers are the people that make. Subaltern people legible and create themselves as legible people. And so when we are doing whatever work we're doing, whether it's in the government, whether it's in our homes, in our communities we need to be listening to all people and to be valuing their experiences, even if they're different than our own, even if they are bringing ideas to the table that like seem totally outta left field. To use a, a baseball analogy here [00:12:00] a very American sport. Maybe it's not outta left field. Maybe it's just based on our social position and our social context. So those are some people to go read with and to think with and to consider. Especially if you want to widen your lens. I'm trying to widen my lens to understand ambition, to understand.  Who am I not listening to? Who am I not thinking with? So those are some great places to go. I highly recommend. So we're gonna wrap this up as our post pods go, they're pretty short. So just thanks for listening. This is Women of Ambition podcast. I am your host, Alyssa Calder Hulme. And I will again, put the transcription up here. I'm putting it in the show description, so you should be able to see that within your app while listening. If you would like. If that's for some reason hard to read or the text is just too large or whatever it is, please feel free to reach out to [00:13:00] me. I'm happy to email out those those notes or add another layer to my website where maybe those transcripts are a little more legible and easy to find.  But yeah, I, I strongly suggest each of those texts, they're so many incredible Latina authors out there. Latinx people who are writing and speaking and teaching and living in ways that we can all really learn from. So go check out the Latina ambition of weaving in liminal spaces and border crossings and speaking up when people don't wanna hear or don't know how to hear.  Really some really incredible women out there. So hope you enjoyed this, and again, please let me know if those transcriptions are helpful and we'll see you again next time.[00:14:00]

Spivak gilt als Mitbegründerin der postkolonialen Theorie. Mit ihrem Text will Spivak in die symbolische Ordnung der globalen kapitalistischen Herrschaft intervenieren. Der klassische territoriale und der neuere postkoloniale Imperialismus schaffen eine internationale Arbeitsteilung. Es entstehen Zonen der Subalternität, in denen Menschen von jeder Mobilitätslinie abgeschnitten sind: analphabetisch, obdachlos, überausgebeutet. Bekommen solche Menschen eine Stimme? Sind sie präsent oder werden sie repräsentiert in den globalen Herrschaftsverhältnissen? Spivak kritisiert Foucault und Deleuze dafür, dass sie nur an Frankreich, nur an Gruppen wie Gefängnisinsassen, Schüler*innen oder Soldaten denken, und dass sie suggerieren, die Macht sei nicht so mächtig, den Subalternen die Stimme zu nehmen. Subalterne können sprechen, so die Überzeugung von Spivak, aber ihre Stimme wird zum Verstummen gebracht oder sie werden nicht gehört. Sie demonstriert diesen Zusammenhang, indem sie den Suizid einer indischen Freiheitskämpferin der 1920er Jahre wie einen Text dechiffriert. Vor dem Hintergrund Bildungsarbeit mit Illiteraten und ihren politischen Erfahrungen als Wahlbeobachterin in afrikanischen Ländern argumentiert Spivak, dass Repräsentation notwendig ist. Dies ist eine Aufgabe, die diasporische Intellektuelle wie sie selbst eine ist, wahrnehmen sollten. Sie arbeiten in den Zentren des Kapitalismus und sollen sich dafür einsetzen, die Verhältnisse in den Gesellschaften, aus denen sie kommen, zu verändern. Zu Gast ist Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodríguez, Professorin für Soziologie an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt/Main. Sie forscht in einer dekolonialen und antirassistischen Perspektive und gab 2003 gemeinsam mit Hito Steyerl das Buch „Spricht die Subalterne deutsch? Migration und postkoloniale Kritik“ heraus.

In urban and peri-urban areas across the Global South, politicians, planners and developers are engaged in a voracious scramble to refashion land for global real estate investment and transfer state power to private sector actors. Much of this development has taken place on the outskirts of the traditional metropoles, in the territorially flexible urban frontier. At the forefront of these processes in India, is Gurgaon, a privately developed metropolis on the south-western hinterlands of New Delhi, that has long been touted as India's flagship neoliberal city.  Thomas G.

In doing so, the book explores how the production of globalised property and labour in contemporary urban India is filtered through colonial instruments of land governance, living histories of uneven agrarian development, material geographies of labour migration, and the worldly aspirations of peasant-agriculturalists.

Part of the International conference on Maharashtra in September 2021 - Devkumar Ahire, SPPU, Pune In the colonial state many things were created, constructed and formed. This is why complex social realities appear to have come into shape in the colonial situations. The complex relationship between the 'civil rights' given by the state of the law and the 'religious freedom' inherited from the colonial complex seems to have solidified the Communalism. Due to print capitalism, education system and nationalism, 'traditionalism' took shape in the framework of modernity. It combines religion and politics. All of these changes can be systematically understood through the Cow protection movement. Cow and cow slaughtering has been one of the most shocking aspects of Colonial Indian politics. This question came under British rule as the greatest threat to the country's peace. Because cow slaughtering was a religious right for all Muslims and for Hindus, religious freedom was at stake. The question of cows intensified due to the confusion of the laws of the princely states, customary practices and the confusion of British laws. In the pre-colonial period, the cow appears to have been used as a political instrument of the ruling class. But during the colonial period when the cow protection movement started, the cow became the instrument of mass political mobilization. At that time, the cow became the instrument of mass political mobilization. As a result of this, On the occasion of the cow protection movement, communalism was swiftly promoted and the transmission of communalism went from city to village as well as from elite class to the Subaltern mass. Nagpur in the Marathi region has been called the heart of this movement. It had its own printing press and full-time male- female activist campaigning for the spread of the movement. Through free books, cultural events, leaflets, leaflets, the movement is expanded and penetrated in various fields. The focus of research paper will be on Cow protection movement of Maharashtra so references of Marathi newspapers, biographies, autobiographies, magazines and other sources will be used.

Claudia talks to Yamini Narayanan about the concept of informality and how it can be used to unpack, complicate and understand urban-animal relations. With a focus on urban-cow entanglements, they discuss how informality is related to urban infrastructure and mobilities that help to bur some of the often dichotomous ways we've come to understand not only intra-human relations, but inter-species relations too. Date recorded: 28 April 2021Yamini Narayanan is Senior Lecturer in International and Community Development at Deakin University, Melbourne. Her work explores the ways in which (other) animals are instrumentalised in sectarian, casteist and even fascist ideologies in India, and how animals are also actors and architects of informal urbanisms. Yamini's research is supported by two Australian Research Council grants. Yamini's work on animals, race, and development has been published in leading journals including Environment and Planning A and D, Geoforum, Hypatia, South Asia, Society and Animals, and Sustainable Development. With Kathryn Gillespie, she has co-edited a special edition of the Journal of Intercultural Studies on the theme “Animal nationalisms: Multispecies cultural politics, race, and nation un/building narratives” (2020) . In 2019, Yamini was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Award for Mid-Career Research Excellence. In recognition of her work, she was made Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics (FOCAE), a distinguished honour that is conferred through nomination or invitation only.

Her dissertation research is focused on the experiences of the slum residents and street dogs in the Indian city of Pune and what these experiences tell us about power in and access to urban spaces and resources. Using multispecies ethnographic methods, her research asks: how is the urban space currently shared and negotiated by different urban human and nonhuman residents, in what ways are the human and nonhuman residents impacted by these negotiations, and what does an inclusive and equitable city look like according to various stakeholders?

Postcolonial Studies, darüber reden wir dieses mal: Ist der Begriff überhaupt angebracht? Was finden wir spannend daran? Hauptsächlich haben wir uns dann mit zwei Denkern befasst, die die postcolonial Theory maßgeblich beeinflusst haben: Zum einen Edward Said, der in seinem Buch "Orientalism" die Darstellung des "Orients" der Europäer sichtbar gemacht. Hierbei wurde scheinbares Wissen institutionalisiert, das im nächsten Schritt eine Grenzziehung zwischen "Orient" und "Okzident" verlangte. Der zweite Denker in unserer Reihe, Homi Bhabha, begreift den Kulturbegriff als fluide und nicht statisch. In sogenannten "Third Spaces" sind Wissensräume an den Rändern und nicht im Zentrum, was in einer kolonialen Denkart nicht vorgesehen war. Außerdem sprechen wir über die Begriffe "Hybridität" und "Mimikry", die bei Bhabha zentral sind. Eine dritte Denkerin in dieser Reihe wird von uns nur kurz angesprochen: Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak mit ihrem Werk "Can the Subaltern Speak?". Was die Postcolonial Theory möglich gemacht hat und wie es jetzt weiter gehen könnte, erfahrt ihr hier.

Dr. Umar's current work explores the relationship (and critical differences) between caste and racial hierarchies, and how they subsequently inform the figure of the Muslim in Indian and world politics. Another area of expertise and interest for Dr. Umar is exploring the histories and global politics of "racing" and gendering Islam as religion, and subsequently how these constructions are usurped, adapted, or challenged by various political quarters and communities. Dr. Umar and Amel discuss the intersecting issues at the heart of historical and contemporary Muslim marginalization in Indian society and politics.
