The Subaltern Studies Collective, founded in 1982, begun with the goal of establishing a new critique of both colonialist and nationalist perspectives in the historiography of colonized countries. These essays chart the course of subaltern history from an early concentration on peasant revolts and popular insurgency to an engagement with the more complex processes of domination and subordination, in a variety of the changing institutions and practices of evolving modernity.
