Subaltern Studies: Volume IV

Extracts from the reviews of the hardback edition

'This fourth volume...of immensely readable essays...comes as a bonus...'Indian Express

'...the essays adhere to the fairly straightforward task of resurrecting for posterity the autonomous traditions of protest among groups of tribals or peasants, in response to the growing control of the colonial state over resources, and consequently, their life styles.'
Indian Express

'The fourth volume has certian novel features ...is rich in the spectrum of subaltern life and culture that it covers...Only the domatic will deny or ignore the wealth of detail and analytical skill that the essays in this volume display.'
The Telegraph

One has come to expect meticulously researched cogently argued, well-written history from the Subaltern volumes. The fourth lives up to expectations although, thematically, this volume is more diverse than its forerunners.'
