Politics of the Possible: Essays on Gender, History, Narratives, Colonial English (Anthem South Asian Studies)

The essays in this book cohere around several themes: the connections between local, metropolitan and colonial geographies as they bear on debates about epistemological uncertainty; the transitional and regional production of ideologies under the aegis of colonialism; ways of theorizing women's literacy, labour and agency, and consent to patriarchal arrangements and ideologies. They can be read as mapping a politics of 'the possible'. This presents itself in several registers: as a more sensitive feminist historiography; as a reinflection of culture that keeps alternatives open for integrative political praxis; as social possibilities for the secular in a situation that seems to deny it; as historical possibilities created by contradictions that did not have inevitable outcomes; as resistant elements produced through contradictions between multiple structures of oppression. This is a reprint of the 1999 edition.
