India After World History: Comparison and Approaches

Globalization, global, and world have become critical words in historical writing and literary criticism in the twenty-first century, leading to a renewed embrace of history and literature in a global register. Recent scholarship has focused on India as a site of theoretical and empirical advances in both disciplinary locations, including reflections on the meeting points of these disciplines and original research in areas such as Neo-Platonism in world history, histories of violence, and literary histories exploring indentured labor and capitalist transformation.

In the twenty-first century, terms such as globalization, global, and world have become crucial in the study of history and literature. These disciplines have long been intertwined, but the advent of Anglophone world history in the twenty-first century has caused a rift. Recent works such as Martin Puchner's The Written World, Maya Jasanoff's The Dawn Watch, and Amitav Ghosh's Ibis Trilogy have reignited the interest in global history and world literature. This book explores recent scholarship on these topics, with a particular focus on India as a site of significant theoretical and empirical advancements. It includes reflections on the intersection of these disciplines and original research in areas such as Neo-Platonism in world history, histories of violence, and literary histories exploring indentured labor and capitalist transformation.
