The Book
This book, comprising a blend of autobiography and intellectual history by some of South Asia’s foremost contemporary historians and sociologists, shows that the postcolonial scholar’s presence in the West is a phenomenon worthy of analysis. While considering nomadic theories in an age of globalisation, this book documents the complexities of the relationship between culture, knowledge, and the individual.
