Guha, Ranajit

History at the Limit of World-history

New York, Columbia University Press, (2002). orig.boards. 24x15cm, x,116 pp. Minor rubbing. VG. ¶ Ranajit Guha develops a critique of historiography by taking issue with the Hegelian concept of world-history. That concept, he argues, reduces the world to Europe and history to what concerns the state alone. To go beyond the Eurocentric and statist limit of world-history, historians should learn from literature to make their narratives doubly inclusive: to extend them in scope not only to make room for the pasts of the so-called peoples without history but to address the historicality of everyday life as well" - Publisher's description.
