1Biswas, P.: Rooted in the past : use of "East Indians" in Library of Congress Subject Headings.
In: Cataloging and classification quarterly. 56(2018) no.1, S.1-18.
Abstract: This article argues that the use of the Library of Congress subject heading "East Indians" in reference to individuals from India represents not only a problematic vestige of colonialism, but also a failure of the principle of literary warrant. It provides an overview of the term's historical roots and then examines whether the term is still widely used in published resources. Although assigning a subject heading is not easy and can involve a choice between contested realities of diverse peoples, the author contends that a rejection of outdated terminology is central to providing any culturally sensitive tool for resource organization.
