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\u2014and yet how typical\u2014her 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\u2014how he became a famous poet, student, labor organizer, and founder of a left-wing guerrilla movement. And Gidla charts her mother\u2019s battles with caste and women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>A moving portrait of love, hardship, and struggle, <i>Ants Among Elephants<\/i> is also that rare thing: a personal history of modern India told from the bottom up..
