Time's Monster

In "Time's Monster," Priya Satia explores how colonial historians of the British empire shaped political narratives and ethical perspectives, influencing both past and present perceptions of empire. The book also highlights the voices of anticolonial thinkers like Gandhi and E. P. Thompson, whose ideas challenged dominant narratives and reshaped the discipline of history. Satia's work underscores the ongoing moral implications of how history is written, set against contemporary debates about global inequality and the legacy of empire.
