Postcolonial passages : contemporary history-writing on India

Postcolonial Passages brings into dialogue salient writings on the cultural history and the historical anthropology of the Indian subcontinent. In this book, the postcolonial is used as a critical perspective. Taken together, the work carefully questions and incisively elaborates colonialism, empire and community, state and nation, and modernity and its margins, also probing the postcolonial as a category.
