Stroud's 2023 book on Ambedkar and Dewey has no standalone bibliography — citations sit in endnotes ('Notes'), not a separate reference list

The University of Chicago Press's own page for Scott R. Stroud's The Evolution of Pragmatism in India: Ambedkar, Dewey, and the Rhetoric of Reconstruction (2023) lists the book's full table of contents, ending: "...Conclusion / The Vision of Ambedkar's Navayana Pragmatism / Acknowledgments / Notes / Index." There is no separate "Bibliography" or "References" heading — a common structure for this publisher's trade-leaning academic monographs. The same page states the book runs 312 pages.

This is a small but load-bearing structural fact for any question about whether the book "cites" a given scholar: because the back matter is endnotes rather than an alphabetized reference list, any citation to a named scholar sits embedded inside a specific numbered note, at a specific page, rather than in a separately-searchable list. A page-located citation inside the "Notes" section (as opposed to the roughly 250-page block of body chapters that the table of contents places before the Conclusion) is therefore consistent with, not contrary to, the book citing that scholar. See claim-google-books-search-index-hits-hu-shih-and-ching-sze-wang-not-keenan-behuniak-schwartz-in-stroud-book, which uses this page-count and structure to interpret where two Google Books page-hits (pp. 278-279) actually fall.
