Excerpt: "Based in the UK and India, David Hardiman was one of the historians who created the Subaltern Studies Group, an editorial and research collective that received worldwide recognition for a book series that started in 1982, conferences on subaltern studies, and numerous articles. The Subaltern Studies Group was part of a larger post-structural and cultural turn in the humanities and social sciences, which has profoundly changed how we today discuss history, power, the Subject, consciousness, colonialism, and resistance."
