3.0 out of 5 stars post-subaltern studies?, August 19, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dominance without Hegemony: History and Power in Colonial India (Convergences: Inventories of the Present) (Paperback)
For those looking for the beginnings of the shift from the concern with 'the subaltern' in subaltern studies, this is a good place to look. The book is predominantly concerned with constructing a case for identifying 'the British' with capitalism, imperialism, and cultural domination and 'India' with tradition, resistance, and, dare I say it, hinduism. You don't get much sense of the cultural diversity, or class differences, within 'India' from this ostensibly 'marxist' book. A reasonably good review of this book, which shows how feeble its use of Marx is, can be found in 'Rethinking Marxism' 12:1, Spring 2000.
