REMAPPING KNOWLEDGE

The Making of South Asian Studies in India, Europe and America (19th–20th centuries)

Summary

 This book seeks to document the constitution of bodies of knowledge on South Asia spanning two centuries (19th–20th), by providing a genealogy of the institutionalisation and transformations occurring in South Asian studies across Europe, India and the United States. Three specific points are addressed in the essays: the cognitive construction of South Asia in the American university system; the exploration of relations between national identities and respective traditions of research on South Asia in Great Britain and the United States throughout the 20th century; and a reflection on ‘Subaltern studies’, an Indian series born under the auspices of radical social history, which has now become a major entry point into postmodernist ideas.
