By directing our focus to the question of consciousness or self-awareness in the making of peasant rebellions in colonial India, he corrects and redirects the writing of history."--Sara Castro-Klaren, Johns Hopkins University "Full of sparkling ideas and written in vivid and compelling prose."--Arjun Appadurai, University of Chicago "A remarkable achievement."--Patricia Seed, Rice University |
