In its early phase, Subaltern Studies dealt extensively with the issue of community and violence in the context of peasant uprisings. The present volume concentrates on gender and national politics and introduces a wide range of new issues raised by the relations between community, gender and violence.

Stunning Essays,
By Sula Niksung (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Community, Gender and Violence (Paperback)
Subaltern Studies moves out of history, with essay by literary critics, anthropologists and most importantly, feminists. Some essays are just very good, but those by Jeganathan and Menon are brilliant. You must read this, if you are interested in any kind of post-colonial studies.
