Overview

Contested Histories and Politics of People is an analytical interface to the plurivocal trajectories and influential approaches fashioned by Subaltern Studies. It highlights the diverse methods and the dynamics of resistance that augmented specific ways of countering hegemonic domination. Power manipulated and subjugated subaltern classes both from within (through elite nationalists) and outside (through colonialism). Bringing together the splintered movements that revolutionarily resist hegemonic state power, Subaltern Studies unearths subsumed narratives and subjugated knowledges. Accordingly, it contributes towards a critique of neo-colonial politics and powers that influence and alter history. This book suggests that what emerged as a historical-critical method to challenge dominant historiography, hegemony and power has contributed towards the formation of a cultural history.
