内容説明
The past two decades have seen important departures in the writing of cultural histories and historical ethnographies of India. Today, such scholarship constitutes an integral part of trans-national debates across disciplines. Postcolonial Passages brings into mutual dialogue salient works of history and anthropology that have critically considered colonial cultures and post-colonial predicaments on the Indian subcontinent, emphasizing precisely the plurality of these writings. In the book, the postcolonial as a concept neither implies a settled stage of history, nor indicates an exclusive form of knowledge. It suggests rather a critical perspective, which probes the conditions and possibilities of modernity, questions the projection of the West as history and destiny, and traces the connections and complicities between the colonial state and the Indian nation. Through an analytical introduction and its distinct chapters, Postcolonial Passages carefully queries and critically elaborates colonialism and nationalism, empire and community, state and nation, and modernity and its margins, also exploring the ambiguities and prospects of the postcolonial as a category.
