The Planetary Subaltern, 1st Edition, is an academic anthology that initiates an extended dialogue between Anthropocene frameworks and Subaltern Studies. Edited by Somasree Sarkar and Agnibha Maity, the collection focuses on populations in India experiencing severe planetary crises and climate precarity.
The text systematically addresses critiques of standard Anthropocene frameworks, which frequently ignore marginalized groups and omit subaltern historiography. By evaluating localized experiences of vulnerability, the essays examine how environmental disruptions intersect with historical inequalities across the subcontinent.
Published by Routledge India in 2025 as part of the 'South Asian Literature in Focus' series, this 226-page work provides targeted critical inquiry. It supports scholars and researchers in South Asian studies, literary criticism, ecocriticism, and environmental studies seeking to integrate subaltern perspectives into climate action frameworks.
