Abstract

Abstract Bill Schwarz reviews the work of the South Asian Subaltern Studies historians of the 1980s and 1990s. Formed in the afterlives of the British Communist Historians of the 1940s to the 1970s, the Subaltern Studies collective determined to understand what that this inherited historiographical paradigm would look like if the question of colonialism were located at its core. He asks also why it was that the History Workshop approaches to history, which began from a similar starting point and sought to recast how history was conceived – emphasizing less colonialism than gender/sexuality – were relatively deaf to the kindred historical project, when each approach was grappling with similar conceptual issues.
