Antyaja’a, meaning The Last Girl, is an especially coined word by the founders of this journal, derived from Indian languages and post-colonial, de-colonial sensibilities. It draws its understanding of the ‘Last’ from Ambedkar’s concept of liberating the Antyaj or The Last Born, John Ruskin’s Unto the Last, and MK Gandhi’s Antyodaya (taken from the words ‘Antya’ and ‘Uday’) to mean the rise of those who are the Last. The feminizing `A`a in the end has been added by the editor, inspired by the ferocious sexual goddess Durg`a and rebel poet Mir`a.
The journal aims to explore inequality and social change from the point of view of the most marginalized female who experiences poverty, race, ethnicity, religion, caste – all within the overarching experience of gender. It aims to publish well-researched articles, interviews, oral histories and essays that draw forth the plight of the last female, who is weaker than even the weakest of men in varying socio-cultural contexts. It will capture women’s movements across the globe, the experience of intertwining inequalities and give voice to women leaders, survivors and victims transforming power.
It is a first-of- its-kind initiative where activism will meet academics; and Editors expect to draw contributions from social and political movement leaders, activists and almost all the Liberal Arts: literature, history, political science, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, development studies as well as law, gender studies and social work practitioners.
