Synopsis

This volume is a comprehensive and critical introduction to Subaltern Studies. It offers a detailed discussion of all major perspectives of the Subaltern Studies Collective and a panoramic view of the twelve volumes published by the Collective. The volume is also a critical delineation of how Subaltern Studies in India has complicated its initial Marxist and Foucauldian focus with the introduction of postcolonial theory, an evolving Dalit consciousness, feminist interventions, Disability Studies and borderlands perspectives. Using a range of texts including fiction, autobiographical narratives and cinema, Subaltern Studies provides critical readings of the representation of the subaltern in both Indian and other contexts.
