Abstract. The article presents translations of the first introductory chapters (“The Idea of Provincializing Europe” “Historicism and the Narration of Modernity”) of Dipesh Chakrabarty’s monograph “Provincializing Europe”. These chapters focus on the notion of historicism and its role in the formation of European political modernity. Chakrabarty criticizes the western approach that imposes Eurocentric modernity on former colonies.
Keywords: postcolonialism, modern, historicism, Dipesh Chakrabarty.
