Quoted in Dirks, Nicholas B., ‘South Asian Studies: Futures Past’, UCIAS, ‘The Politics of Knowledge: Area Studies and the Disciplines’, Vol. 3, Article 9, (2003), 2Google Scholar. I have drawn extensively upon this article, and therefore necessarily Dirk's perspective, for an overview of the historiography of South Asia in North America. There most certainly exist other takes on this history. For an overview see Elder, Joseph W., Dimock, Edward C. Jr., and Embree, Ainslee, eds, India's Worlds and US Scholars. 1947–1997 (New Delhi: Manohar, 1998).Google Scholar
