"This volume brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on British colonial rule in India. It draws on sociology, history, and political science to look at key events and social process, between 1757 to 1947, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the colonial history. It begins with the introductory backdrop of the British East India Company when its ship docked at Surat in 1603 and ends with the partition and independence in 1947. A compelling read, the book explores a range of key themes which include: early colonial polity, economic transformation, colonial educational policies, and other initial developments; the revolt of 1857 and its aftermath; colonial subjectivities and ethnographic interventions, colonial capitalism and its insititutions, constitutional developments in colonial India; early nationalist politics, the rise of Indian National Congress, the role of Gandhi in nationalist politics, and the Quit India movement; social movements and gender politics under the colonial rule; partition of India and independence. Accessibly written and exhaustive, this volume will be essential reading for students, teachers, scholars, and researchers of political science, history, sociology and literature"--

The historical study of borderlands has been unduly restricted by an emphasis on the legal, political, and geographical aspects of borders and by a state-centered approach. Too often, the question has been how states have dealt with their borderlands rather than how borderlands have dealt with their states—culturally, economically, and politically. This article outlines a comparative approach to the social dynamics (struggles, adaptations, and cross-border alliances) in regions bisected by borders, and it argues that borderland studies provide an indispensable corrective to historical narratives that accept the territoriality to which all modern states lay claim.

In contributing to this symposium on book history, I was asked to reflect on my A Social History of Knowledge (hereafter SHK), which was published in 2000, describing how I came to write it and what has happened to the field since, and considering the question of whether I might write my essay differently if I were beginning it today. Following this, I shall devote the remainder of the article to a sketch for a future project on the history of knowledge.

THE TASK OF ENVISIONING AND BUILDING POLITICAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH STRANGERS IS ONE OF GLOBALIZATION'S MAIN CHALLENGES. ALTHOUGH MODERN TECHNOLOGY HAS GIVEN THE POLITICS OF DISTANCE A NEW DIMENSION, THEIR ORIGINS LIE IN THE ERA OF SAILING SHIPS AND THE STEAM ENGINE, NOT SUPERSONIC TRANSPORTS AND THE INTERNET. THE AUTHOR CLAIMS THAT THIS IS GLOBALIZATION, EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STYLE.

Abstract
In my reply to George Crowder's criticism of my essay on the Soviet Revolution in the last issue of Analyse & Kritik, I discuss two problems: the nature of a reasonable value pluralism and the relation between ethics and philosophy of history. Concerning the first, I insist on the necessity of an objective rank ordering of values; with regard to the second, I side with Kant, who builds philosophy of history on ethics, and reject the Marxist idea that ethics is itself grounded in philosophy of history.
