hello! i was wondering if you have a rec list for literature about marriage as an institution and not the end all be all that it’s peddled to be?

hello i'm so glad you asked!!! this list is a good starting point, and for marriage and family abolition specifically i would recommend:

Mandy Len Catron, "What You Lose When You Gain a Spouse"

Sophie Silverstein, "Family abolition isn’t about ending love and care. It’s about extending it to everyone"

Shannon Keating, "You Wanted Same-Sex Marriage? Now You Have Pete Buttigieg."

Stephanie Coontz, "How to Make Your Marriage Gayer"

Sophie Lewis, "Covid-19 Is Straining the Concept of the Family. Let’s Break It."

i recognize that these are highly specific to the USAmerican context, but that's where most of my anti-marriage organizing happens. and i'm always open to more recs/questions/thoughts!

hiya. ive seen you talk about hinduism as an apartheid religion that exists through the colonial projects of brahminization and sanskritization and i was wondering if you had any sources (books articles etc.) that i could go to so i can learn more about it? i feel like i currently only have tumblr posts to refer to.

there's lots of ideas that are pithily summarised in this ask that can lead to confusion as to which colonial encounter and when said social processes are happening. i've not added any doorstopper theory type books and preferred an essay when i can.

caste as apartheid, essential to hinduism and the role of brahminisation in it

br ambedkar. annihilation of caste (edited speech) and castes in india (paper)

kancha illiah. why i am not a hindu (book)

anand teltumbe. persistence of caste: the khairlanji murders and india’s hidden apartheid (book)

modern hinduism as created in the colonial era in response to the pressures and the encounter with british colonisation and how caste changes with it

john zavos: representing religion in colonial india (essay) and arya samaj and the history of hindu nationalism (essay)

richard king: colonialism, hinduism and the discourse of religion (essay)

caste in modern india by tanika and sumit sarkar (essay collection) rec essays by dirks, bayly, guha, bernard cohn, sekhar bandopadhyay, anupama rao, sumit sarkar and jaffrelot

alternatively i really like sumit guhas book beyond caste

the forces of sanskritisation and brahminisation which predate colonialism — the encounter between hegemonic vedic religion and little tradition

mn srinivas: a note on sanskritisation and westernisation (original 1956 essay on what it is)

romila thapar: syndicated moksha (essay) and why can't we think of civilisation as a process of tracking cultures (speech) and her textbook early india from origins to AD 1300 really explicates it.

hinduism as settler religion i'd look to treatments of advasis

tribes & adivasi: religion and the politics of tribal identity

on the tribal schools: eklavya model residential schools (btw if you're not aware, eklavya is famously the 'dalit' archer in the mahabharat who is forced to chop off his thumb because he is lower caste and secretly learns from a brahmin teacher and his skill is showing up the brahmin arjuna)

nandini sundar: subalterns and sovereigns (book) traces the pre, colonial and post colonial encounter in bastar

lots of people on here have their own favourite essays and books and are encouraged to suggest them

I have just found. the COOLEST website???

Lost Kitchen Scrolls

It has a huge variety of historical recipes from different regions, taken from manuscripts, transcribed and translated, and a whole section of notes about the context for the recipe. It's really fun and I AM going to try a couple of these recipes.

Look at how this lamb recipe is presented:

This is just such a fun way to learn more about historical foodways and discover traditional cuisine.

Look at all the filters you can use:

Maybe if I can forage some good blackberries this year, I can make a 300 year old recipe for blackberry wine!

Anyway. Check out Lost Kitchen Scrolls.

You still have time. Time to change your wardrobe. Time to get divorced and married again. Time to change majors. Time to learn a trade from scratch. Time to pay off debts. Time to travel. Time to love and be loved. You still have your whole life ahead. Whether you're 19 or 66. You still have so much time. But you have to take it.
