"Subaltern Studies" - A Bibliography
----------
Ed. note:
Some H-ASIA readers will recall that our member Henry Schwarz of Georgetown University had asked for suggestions about useful materials about the Subaltern Studies project. At my urging, he has compiled a list of titles which he received from various H-ASIA members. In preparing this for posting, I have added some further entries and filled in some missing bibliographic detail. The list, however, is not complete, but may prove a useful starting point. Further suggestions are encouraged. F.F.C.


From: Henry Schwarz
[Nov.96 Email address Schwarz@Guvax.Georgetown.edu]

To H-ASIA members:

I thank you for all of the useful suggestions made in response to my query earlier this year (1996).

The list of titles below [actually see above] is incomplete, please feel free to add pertinent references. The list does not include reviews or critiques that were published in the eight volumes of Subaltern Studies or in Selected Subaltern Studies.
