Correct Answer :

Option C

A and D only.

Solution :

The correct option is A and D only.

To understand why this is the correct choice, let us look at the authorship of each of the books listed in the question:

  • A) Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference: This seminal book, published in 2000, was written by Dipesh Chakrabarty. It is one of his most influential works, where he addresses the legacy of subaltern studies and critiques the Eurocentric tendencies in historical writing.
  • B) The Subaltern Studies Reader: While Dipesh Chakrabarty has been a key contributor to the Subaltern Studies collective, this specific reader was edited by Ranajit Guha.
  • C) Identity and Violence: This book (subtitled The Illusion of Destiny) was written by the Nobel laureate economist and philosopher Amartya Sen, published in 2006.
  • D) The Climate of History in a Planetary Age: This book, published in 2021, was written by Dipesh Chakrabarty. In this work, he explores the intersection of human history and climate change in the era of the Anthropocene.
  • E) In Other Worlds: This book (subtitled Essays in Cultural Politics), published in 1987, was written by the postcolonial theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

Since books A and D are the ones written by Dipesh Chakrabarty, the correct answer option is indeed A and D only.
