This book provides a comprehensive balance sheet of the project and its developments, including Ranajit Guha's original subaltern studies manifesto, Partha Chatterjee, Dipesh Chakrabarty and Gayatri Spivak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinayak Chaturvedi\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of History at the University of California in Irvine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGyan Prakash\u003c\/b\u003e (Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania) is professor of modern Indian history at Princeton University and a member of the Subaltern Studies Editorial Collective.
