The fifth volume of Subaltern Studies comprises five essays and two discussion pieces on the Subaltern project. In his study of the Bhils and Shaukars of eastern Gujarat David Hardiman analyses the close economic relationship that existed between these two communities. David Arnoldâ€™s essay on the Indian plague over 1896-1900 shows the complex interplay of coercion and co-operation, resistance and hegemony, class and race, in the colonial situation.
