Focusing on concepts that have been central to investigation of
the history and politics of marginalized and disenfranchised
populations, this book asks how discourses of 'subalternity' and
'difference' simultaneously constitute and interrupt each other.
The authors explore the historical production of conditions of
marginality and minority, and challenge simplistic notions of
difference as emanating from culture rather than politics. They
return, thereby, to a question that feminist and other oppositional
movements have raised, of how modern societies and states take
account of, and manage, social, economic and cultural difference.
The different contributions investigate this question in a variety
of historical and political contexts, from India and Ecuador, to
Britain and the USA.
The resulting study is of invaluable interest to students and
scholars in a wide range of disciplines, including History,
Anthropology, Gender and Queer and Colonial and Postcolonial
Studies.
