Description
This volume explores the interconnections between culture, ideology and hegemony in an effort to understand and explain how Indians came to terms with colonial subjection and envisioned a future for the society in which they lived. The process of exploring the indigenous epistemological tradition and assessing it in the context of advances made by the west was not unilinear and undifferentiated; it was driven with contradictions, contentions and ruptures.
Meticulously researched and lucidly argued, this analysis is illuminated by a rare sensitivity to the nature of class formation and class values, as well as to the material conditions of human existence.
