"A very impressive collection of essays. It is unusually successful in being able to retain throughout a coherent theoretical focus, depth and variety of empirical scholarship, a cosmopolitan resistance to scholarly insularity, and an insurgent spirit of questioning received ideas about subaltern groups and their politics. This book deserves a wide readership. The self-conscious, honest, and comparative dialogue that it conducts between the Latin American and the South Asian Subaltern Studies groups will enrich the field of subaltern studies as a whole."--Dipesh Chakrabarty
