Prasenjit Duara explores the idea that the process of modernisation has resulted in an overreach in our conquest of nature, leading to a crisis of sustainability. Drawing on historical sociology and circulatory histories, and through a rich engagement with transcendent Asian traditions, Duara seeks answers to the challenges accompanying global modernity.
