Kris Manjapra, "The Young Subaltern School: A Phonic History"

Over the period of ten years, I recorded oral history with major figures who contributed to Subaltern Studies and to adjacent projects in 1970s and 1980s critical thought.  Together, the oral histories point to the importance of institutions, personal relations, and urban space in forging new formations of knowledge after the fall of formal empire.   In this presentation, I share the key findings of this postcolonial intellectual history, interspersed with excerpts from interviews with Ranajit Guha, Gayatri Chakravarty-Spivak, Partha Chatterjee, and others.

Presentation by , followed by conversations with Amitava Chowdhury.
