4 Pankaj, Ashok K (ed)
Dalits, subalternity and social change in India / Ashok K
Pankaj and Ajit K Pandey.-- London: Routledge, 2019.
xv,207p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781138352834.
305.56880954 PAN 147421
This book is a collection of originally written chapters
by eminent experts on the experiences of Dalits in India.
It examines who constitute Dalits and engages with the
mainstream subaltern perspective that treats Dalits as a
political and economic category, a class phenomenon, and
subsumes homogeneity of the entire Dalit population. This
book argues that the socio-cultural deprivations of
Dalits are their primary deprivations, characterized by
heterogeneity of their experiences. It asserts that
Dalits have a common urge to liberate from the oppressive
and exploitative social arrangement which has been the
guiding force of Dalit movement. This book has analysed
this movement through three phases: the reformative, the
transformative and the confrontationist.

5 Majumder, Atreyee
Time, space and capital in India : longing and belonging
in an urban-industrial hinterland / Atreyee Majumder.--
London: Routledge, 2019.
159p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781138334472.
307.76095414 MAJ 147427
This book is fundamentally concerned with the relations
among the theoretical categories of time, space and
capital in India and shows registers of temporality and
spatiality generated by historical phases of interaction
with industrial capital. Based on extensive ethnographic
fieldwork in Howrah, the author examines the form of
urbanism that is not linked to the city-form of spatial
organization, a "hinterland urbanism". The book brings
out the theoretical implications by showing the relations
among time, space and capital. It sheds light on the
issue and identifies the state of an ethnographer who is
ensconced in the field-in wonder, conceit and sometimes
physical discomfort.

8 Kelly, Michael J
Theories of history : history read across the humanities
/ Michael J Kelly and Arthur Rose.-- London: Bloomsbury
Academic, 2018.
viii, 250p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781474271301.
901 KEL 147426
By describing -history- through its supplementary
function to the field of history, this book considers new
insights into historical thinking and historiography
across the humanities. It fosters engagement from around
the disciplines in historical thinking and, from that,
invites historians and philosophers of history to see
clearly the impact of their work outside of their own
specific fields, and encourages deep reflection on the
role of historical production in society.
