About this product
Product Information
This book locates the origins of the modern humanities in the philological practices of late 18th-century British scholars in colonial India, offering a radical reappraisal of a range of disciplines and excavating hidden pre-colonial practices that might well help the humanities move beyond their current methodological and political impasses.

Reviews
"A work of theory and method, Archaeology of Babel is a very important intervention into a current high-profile discussion of comparative literature. Every chapter of this galvanizing and historically informed book develops new possibilities for the field."--Lee Morrissey "Clemson University ", "Siraj Ahmed launches a powerful critique of the method of comparative philology that has established a hegemony of the printed text, thereby impeding our ability to conceptualize collective life. A reasoned but passionate plea for reading anti-philologically, this impressive book is sure to provoke much discussion."--Partha Chatterjee "Columbia University ", A work of theory and method, Archaeology of Babel is a very important intervention into a current high-profile discussion of comparative literature. Every chapter of this galvanizing and historically informed book develops new possibilities for the field., "An important, scintillating study that deserves a wide interdisciplinary readership, Archaeology of Babel reappraises the historical roots of philology and encourages readers to re-imagine our present."--Talal Asad, The Graduate Center "CUNY ", An important, scintillating study that deserves a wide interdisciplinary readership, Archaeology of Babel reappraises the historical roots of philology and encourages readers to re-imagine our present., Siraj Ahmed launches a powerful critique of the method of comparative philology that has established a hegemony of the printed text, thereby impeding our ability to conceptualize collective life. A reasoned but passionate plea for reading anti-philologically, this impressive book is sure to provoke much discussion.

It's Good Friday and this book on the Eucharist arrived --- had to start reading it to learn about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This item was delivered early and was packaged well in a protective bubble mailer rather than a poly bag that other sellers use. Very pleased with the quality of the book as it was accurately described. Book content is excellent. Would buy from this seller again.

Red’s Corner, that’s the name of a bar I once patronized as a “yute.” Just finished the book and enjoyed it very much. The condition was as described, the price was more than fair and the shipping a tad slow. Blame the Post Office these days, they’re beginning to emulate the DMV. Would certainly buy from this seller again.
