This book is a collection of autobiographical narratives by leading
social scientists working across South Asia. It explores the
linkages between their personal experiences and academic pursuits
and analyzes how personal, political, and professional choices
shape knowledge production and affect social transformation. The
narratives revisit long-standing debates on objectivity,
subjectivity, self, and other and attempt to collapse the binaries
that have informed the social sciences until now. Highlighting the
state of research and pedagogy in the social sciences in the
region, the book questions the conventional understanding of the
task of the social scientist and, in doing so, blurs the
distinction between theory, research, pedagogy, and activism. A
unique and compelling contribution, this volume will be
indispensable to students and researchers of sociology,
anthropology, history, creative writing, education, politics,
biography studies, and South Asian studies. It will also be of
interest to general readers.
