The debates here will enliven the classroom and inspire the practitioner. * Dipesh Chakrabarty, Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor of History, University of Chicago, USA * This is an excellent cutting edge work that provides insights into some of the most exciting new approaches to historiography.
