The past is never dead. It's not even past

Not Even Past

Abikal Borah

Dipesh Chakrabarty’s Provincializing of Europe

November 25, 2015

Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference is about recognising the limitations of Western social science in explaining the historical experiences of political modernity in South Asia. Chakhrabarty offers a critique of the Enlightenment concepts of a universal human experience and of secular modernity.
