Subaltern studies, post-colonial Marxism, and "finding your place to begin from"

an interview with Dipesh Chakrabarty

Maria Dimova-Cookson

pp. 58-73

Abstract

Maria Dimova-Cookson: Dear Professor Chakrabarty, many thanks for agreeing to give us an interview. You are well known as one of the founders of the subaltern studies project and as a scholar of South Asian history and culture. However, I can see from your biographical notes that your university education started with a degree in physics in Calcutta. You are now at the University of Chicago. What has been the path that led you there?
