Over the last four decades, Dipesh Chakrabarty's astonishingly
wide-ranging scholarship has elaborated a range of important
issues, especially those of modernity, identity, and politics - in
dialogue with postcolonial theory and critical historiography - on
global and planetary scales. All of this makes Chakrabarty among
the most significant (and most cited) scholars working in the
humanities and social sciences today. The present text comprises
substantive yet short, academic yet accessible essays that are
crafted in conversation with the critical questions raised by
Chakrabarty's writings. Now, Chakrabarty holds the singular
distinction of making key contributions to some of the most salient
shifts in understandings of the Global South that have come about
in wake of subaltern studies and postcolonial perspectives,
critiques of Eurocentrism together with elaborations of public
pasts, and articulations of climatic histories alongside problems
of the Anthropocene. Rather than exegeses and commentaries, these
original, commissioned, pieces - written by a stellar cast of
contributors from four continents - imaginatively engage
Chakrabarty's insights and arguments, in order to incisively
explore important issues of the politics of knowledge in
contemporary worlds. This book will be of interest to scholars and
graduate students interested in a wide variety of interdisciplinary
issues across the humanities and social sciences, especially the
interplay between postcolonial perspectives and subaltern studies,
between man-made climate change and the human sciences, between
history and theory, and between modernity and globalization.
