Caste: Stories of Resilience and Resistance
Exhibition Type
On-site
Hero Background Image
Description - Lead Paragraph
Caste is a social and religious system of power with a long history in South Asia and its diasporas. This exhibit explores caste through an intersectional lens. It focuses on the relationship of caste to religion, politics, and gender.
Description - Details
Caste is not simply limited to South Asia, but also extends to its many diasporas in places such as the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. In recent years, American anti-caste organizations such as Equality Labs have spearheaded successful campaigns to make caste a recognized and legally protected category alongside race, religion, sexuality, age, ancestry, and ability. In 2019, Brandeis University, was the first North American institution of higher education to add caste to its non-discrimination policy, and since then many other universities have followed suit. Caste has been an important site of contestation for tech companies such as Google and Cisco, as well as local governments, including Seattle and the state of California. Caste is a growing topic of conversation across many North American universities, including Emory University.

At the Crossroads with Benny Andrews, Flannery O’Connor and Alice Walker
Exhibition Type
On-site
Hero Background Image
Description - Details
This exhibition by the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives & Rare Book Library features three artists whose collections are housed at Emory – Benny Andrews, Flannery O’Connor, and Alice Walker, all of whom grew up in middle Georgia. “Crossroads” focuses on O’Connor’s short story, “Everything That Rises Must Converge,” which Andrews later illustrated. Walker also responded to O’Connor’s work through an essay, “Beyond the Peacock,” and a short story, “Convergence.”
Using rare archival photos, journals, letters, original manuscripts and artwork, and personal artifacts, "At the Crossroads” examines how Andrews, O’Connor and Walker overlap geographically as Georgia natives, chronologically during their lifetimes, and creatively through their work. It reflects on their divergent origins and paths, while acknowledging the accolades and controversies in their lives, and illustrates how these three artists in different ways continue to reflect their time and place.
