During the course of a visit to India in 1987, Dr. Kamen became captivated by the Indian culture and history. After many return visits, this fascination with India evolved into a research dissertation that identified an oppressed group within the Indian hierarchy known as the Dalits (formerly called the Untouchables). Her research focuses on the triple oppression that exists among class, caste, and gender, and how it has affected a specific female Dalit cobbler and her family. This account reveals the resourcefulness and survival of a woman who is working against the odds, within a stringent patriarchal society with many class distinctions. As India takes on the 21st century as a technological and economic power, Dr. Kamen reveals the disregarded populace of India that makes up approximately one third of the population.
