When the Subaltern Speaks Supremacy
Abstract
How do we understand the politics of the subaltern if they seek to speak not the language of subalternity but of supremacy? This chapter explores the uses and abuses of vernacular terms of backwardness and their implications for an understanding of a “subaltern caste.”
