This provocative volume presents the most wide-ranging essays from the first five volumes of Subaltern Studies, along with an introductory essay by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak--the translator of Derrida's Of Grammatology into English--and a foreword by eminent critic Edward W. Said. Addressed to students and scholars throughout the humanities, these essays address what Antonio Gramsci--the founder of the Italian communist party--called the subaltern classes, reexamining well-known historical and political events, such as Gandhi's role in India, from a Marxist perspective. Together, the essays examine aspects of the analysis of domination, with special reference to the critique of imperialism, in an attempt to rectify the elitist bias characteristic of much academic work on India. A ground-breaking work of considerable pedagogical relevance for courses dealing with colonialism and imperialism in literature, sociology, anthropology, politics, and history, Subaltern Studies also
features a comprehensive glossary of Indian terms for readers not familiar with Indian history.
Industry Reviews
"A most useful collection that makes representative articles from this very influential series readily available for class use."--A.T. Embree, Columbia University "Excellent when teaching the colonial period in Indian history."--Darius Cooper, San Diego Mesa College "Especially welcome....Will serve the admirable purpose of introducing American students--who are often unfamiliar with this way of looking at history from the bottom upwards!--to an important body of recent research."--Gavin R.G. Hambly, University of Texas at Dallas
