Emphasizing the continued salience at the beginning of the twenty-first century of these supposedly nineteenth-century ides, the essays in this volume stress the importance of tracking the dynamic ways that race, orient, and nation have been reworked and used over time and in particular geographic locations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on archival sources and fieldwork, the contributors explore aspects of modernity within the societies of South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Whether considering how European ideas of Orientalism became foundational myths of Indian nationalism; how racial caste systems between blacks, South Asians, and whites operate in post-apartheid South Africa; or how Indian immigrants to the United States negotiate their identities, these essays demonstrate that the contours of cultural and identity politics did not simply originate in metropolitan centers and get adopted wholesale in the colonies. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColonial and postcolonial modernisms have emerged via the active appropriation of, or resistance to, far-reaching European ideas. Over time, Orientalism and nationalist and racialized knowledges become indigenized and acquire, for all practical purposes, a completely Third World patina. Antinomies of Modernity shows that people do make history, constrained in part by political-economic realities and in part by the categories they marshal in doing so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAntinomies of Modernity is a fundamental contribution to scholarship decentring Eurocentric epistemic perspectives. Vacant Kaiwar and Sucheta Mazumdar have collected impressive essays, including their own articles and introduction, showing he epistemic potential of antinomies of modernity in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This collection makes a signal contribution toward a paradigm showing us the way beyond postmodernism and post colonialism.\u003cbr\u003e-Walter D Mignolo, Duke University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTruly international in its engagement, Antinomies of Modernity is an important, original and timely collection.
