Explore the concept of ‘unarchived histories’ in this compelling academic volume. Moving beyond the traditional view of archives as neutral records, this book delves into histories that have been marginalized or overlooked due to their perceived ordinariness. Drawing inspiration from Foucault, it examines how deeply ingrained prejudices and everyday practices can lead to the ‘exile within’ of certain narratives. Featuring diverse case studies from South Asia, the Americas, and North Africa, ‘Unarchived Histories’ offers fresh interpretations of familiar and unfamiliar sources. This insightful analysis is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of history, the politics of archiving, and uncovering hidden pasts. A vital read for scholars and students of history and postcolonial studies available at The Bookish Owl.
