Description
Extracts from the reviews of the hardbound edition:
'Of all the volumes in this series the third is the most cohesive in theoretical perspective and time-frame (the period of colonialism and anti-colonial nationalism).Subaltern Studies III is exciting social history. It could change your reading habits!'
South Asia Research USA
Rajat Guha prefaces the volume with the assertion that he is determined to smash the elitist understanding of South Asian history. No serious library, no serious scholar, with an interest in the history of peasants, of labour, South Asia, or of popular mentalities can afford to ignore this or other volumes in the series.'
Francis Robinson, SOAS Journal
'The arguments are novel and characterised by a negativity, a critical drive, against elitist orthodoxies.'The Telegraph, Calcutta
'The third volume, the richest so far.
