Feminism and Globalization

The "uneven geographical development of neoliberalism " and the uneven intra-national development of classist oppression are comparable structures that are critiqued by Harvey and Devi. The normalization of class oppression plays a definitive role in ensuring power to elite classes.
             Harvey brings to attention that Neoliberalism "took (the) political idea of human dignity and individual freedom as fundamental"". Yet, the accounts of the kamiyas in the village of Palamu do not exemplify this practice. The tribal people that Mahasweta Devi wrote about in her protest fiction literature are victims of many centuries worth of oppression within a nation. There is a disparity among the classes within the village of Palamu between the Brahmans and bonded laborers that are coerced to work for them. The abuse endured by Crook Nagesia at the hands of a Brahmin who works for him as a bonded laborer exemplifies this inequality. Crook hopes to be able to find support from outsiders who would want to put a halt to the injustice that the subaltern experiences at the hands of the elite class. The "bespectacled town gentleman" that Crook wishes to encounter represents what Crook and the other bonded laborers do not have, which include representation in the Indian government (Devi 20). As Sassen stated, the visible and valorized laborers that are part of the formal economy allows for the concentration of power within the elite class (87). The class relationship between the rural subaltern and the urbanized Brahman is based on exploitation. The government lacks a role in enforcing justice for the bonded laborers and this is due to systematic economic class disparities. Also, the fact that the "masters" of these bonded laborers are loan givers is exemplary of a capitalistic method used to justify this exploitative relationship". .
             Paramananda, who promotes the forced prostitution of women within his country, presented himself in the village of Palamu as a sympathetic Brahmin.
