Ranabir Samaddar is the Director of the Calcutta Research Group,
Kolkata, and belongs to the school of critical thinking. He has
worked extensively on issues of justice and rights in the context
of conflicts in South Asia.
Samaddar’s particular researches have spread over a wide area
comprising migration and refugee studies, the theory and practices
of dialogue, nationalism and postcolonial statehood in South Asia,
and new regimes of technological restructuring and labour
control.
His recent political writings The Emergence of the Political
Subject (2009) and The Nation Form (2012) have signalled a new turn
in critical postcolonial thinking and have challenged some of the
prevailing accounts of the birth of nationalism and the nation
state.
