Subalternity and Difference: Investigations from the North and the South: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Subalternity and Difference: Investigations from the North and the South" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Focusing on the idea of difference as a marker of subalternity, this book looks at the ways in which ordinary citizens have sought to present and identify themselves in ways that defy the conventional categorisations of governments and historical experience. Inspired particularly by questions arising within the feminist movement, chapters examine the ways in which liberal democracies are able to accommodate and live with difference. The reader is encouraged to question normative ontological conventions of society and politics, as well as question some of the revolutionary ideologies which have sought to achieve radical change in the societies concerned by encouraging people to identify with particular class interests. The book goes on to analyse the concept of the Subaltern and the meaning of Subalternity, insisting that it should be understood though action and self-identification in relationship to repression, rather than as an abstract academic tool of analysis. The book marks a new approach to the study of disenfranchised and minoritized populations, challenges simplistic pronouncements of difference based on culture rather than politics. It is an essential read for students and scholars of History, Anthropology, and Colonial and Postcolonial studies.

Subalternity and Difference Focusing on concepts that have been central to - photo 1
Subalternity and Difference
Focusing on concepts that have been central to investigation of the history and politics of marginalized and disenfranchised populations, this book asks how discourses of subalternity and difference simultaneously constitute and interrupt each other. The authors explore the historical production of conditions of marginality and minority, and challenge simplistic notions of difference as emanating from culture rather than politics. They return, thereby, to a question that feminist and other oppositional movements have raised, of how modern societies and states take account of, and manage, social, economic and cultural difference. The different contributions investigate this question in a variety of historical and political contexts, from India and Ecuador, to Britain and the USA.
The resulting study is of invaluable interest to students and scholars in a wide range of disciplines, including History, Anthropology, Gender and Queer and Colonial and Postcolonial Studies
Gyanendra Pandey is Distinguished Professor of History at Emory University, USA, and is the series editor of the Intersections: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories book series at Routledge. He is one of the leading theorists and originators of the subaltern studies approach and has published widely in the field of colonial and postcolonial studies.
Intersections: Colonial and Postcolonial Histories
Edited by Gyanendra Pandey, Emory University, USA.
Editorial Advisory Board: Partha Chatterjee, Columbia University/Calcutta;Steven Hahn, University of Pennsylvania; David Hardiman, University of Warwick;Bruce Knauft, Emory University; Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, New York University/Bangalore; and Ann Stoler, New School of Social Research, New York.
This series is concerned with three kinds of intersections (or conversations): first, across cultures and regions, an interaction that postcolonial studies have emphasized in their foregrounding of the multiple sites and multi-directional traffic involved in the making of the modern; second, across time, the conversation between a mutually constitutive past and present that occurs in different times and places; and third, between colonial and postcolonial histories, which as theoretical positions have very different perspectives on the first two intersections and the questions of intellectual enquiry and expression implied in them. These three kinds of conversation are critical to the making of any present and any history. Thus the new series provides a forum for extending our understanding of core issues of human society and its self-representation over the centuries.
While focusing on Asia, the series is open to studies of other parts of the world that are sensitive to cross-cultural, cross-chronological and cross-colonial perspectives. The series invites submissions for single-authored and edited books by young as well as established scholars that challenge the limitations of inherited disciplinary and chronological and geographical boundaries, even when they focus on a single, well-bounded territory or period.

Preface and acknowledgements
The present anthology is the second to emerge out of a series of conversations between scholars of the USA and India, and now more broadly the North and the South, begun in meetings in Emory University, Atlanta (USA), and continued in a number of workshops held in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Delhi (India) in the summer of 2009, as well as in a variety of other exchanges. The conversations, concerned broadly with questions of enfranchisement and disenfranchisement through history, focused in the initial stages on Subaltern Citizens and Their Histories (the theme of a first volume published by Routledge in 2010), and have gone on (in this volume) to investigate the question of difference in its relation to subalternity.
