<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Published in association with New Left review."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Inspired by Antonio Gramsci's writings on the history of subaltern classes, the authors in <i>Mapping Subaltern Studies and the Postcolonial</i> sought to contest the elite histories of Indian nationalists by adopting the paradigm of 'history from below'. Later on, the project shifted from its social history origins by drawing upon an eclectic group of thinkers that included Edward Said, Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida. This book provides a comprehensive balance sheet of the project and its developments, including Ranajit Guha's original subaltern studies manifesto, Partha Chatterjee, Dipesh Chakrabarty and Gayatri Spivak.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Vinayak Chaturvedi</b> is a Professor of History at the University of California in Irvine. <p/><b>Gyan Prakash</b> (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania) is professor of modern Indian history at Princeton University and a member of the Subaltern Studies Editorial Collective.
