Publisher's Synopsis

This volume is a collection of academic writings, lectures, reportage, and editorial comments on the politics and history of Bengal. Professor Chatterjee takes issue with the theory of the decline of Bengal on the ground that it fetishizes some aspects of our colonial modernity, and lends itself to a social conservatism that justifies class privilege.
