History at the Limit of World-History

"A new book by Ranajit Guha is both an important event for South Asian Studies and a significant occasion for the humanities…This is a deeply stirring work." – Homi Bhabha "Guha's works have deeply influenced not only the writing of subcontinental history but also historical investigations elsewhere, as well as cultural studies, literary theories, and social analyses across the world." – Amartya Sen "Guha has been one of those rare creative spirits whose works continue to light our path towards this common humanity by honestly exploring our historical differences." – Haider A. Khan, Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa & the Middle East "…the Tagore essay…is a gem and Guha's eloquence usefully prods every reader to rethink his/her methodical toolkit." – Gabriel Paquette, Itinerario "Combining acute theoretical and political insight with empirical substance and prescription for enriching historical practice, this is an exemplary postmodern intervention." – Patrick Finney, Journal of Contemporary History "This book is definitely worth a read for those interested in questions pertaining to everyday life and also in recent postcolonial efforts to rethink the practices of disciplinary history." – Bernardo A. Michael, Journal of World History
