About this Item

1st edition dust jacket As New octavo xix + 245pp., map, glossary, bibliog., index, 'Contributes to currently developing theories that connect Marxist historiography, post-structuralist thinking, and the traditions of hermeneutic analysis. Although Chakrabarty deploys Marxist arguments to explain the political practices of the workers he describes, he replaces universalising Marxist explanations with a sensitive documentary method that stays close to the experience of workers and their European bosses'.
