520 2  "The stunning true story of an untouchable family who 
       become teachers, and one, a poet and revolutionary. Like 
       one in six people in India, Sujatha Gidla was born an 
       untouchable. While most untouchables are illiterate, her 
       family was educated by Canadian missionaries in the 1930s,
       making it possible for Gidla to attend elite schools and 
       move to America at the age of twenty-six. It was only then
       that she saw how extraordinary--and yet how typical--her 
       family history truly was. Her mother, Manjula, and uncles 
       Satyam and Carey were born in the last days of British 
       colonial rule. They grew up in a world marked by poverty 
       and injustice, but also full of possibility. In the slums 
       where they lived, everyone had a political side, and 
       rallies, agitations, and arrests were commonplace. The 
       Independence movement promised freedom. Yet for 
       untouchables and other poor and working people, little 
       changed. Satyam, the eldest, switched allegiance to the 
       Communist Party. Gidla recounts his incredible life--how 
       he became a famous poet, student, labor organizer, and 
       founder of a left-wing guerrilla movement. And Gidla 
       charts her mother's battles with caste and women's 
       oppression. Page by page, Gidla takes us into a 
       complicated, close-knit family as they desperately strive 
       for a decent life and a more just society. A moving 
       portrait of love, hardship, and struggle, Ants Among 
       Elephants is also that rare thing: a personal history of 
       modern India told from the bottom up"--|cProvided by
