E) In Other Worlds
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A and D only.

Step-by-step Explanation:

To identify the books written by the postcolonial historian Dipesh Chakrabarty, let's analyze each of the given options:
• A) Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference: This is a seminal book authored by Dipesh Chakrabarty, published in 2000. In this book, he critiques historicism and explores how postcolonial thought can address the limitations of Western political and historical categories when applied to non-Western societies.
• D) The Climate of History in a Planetary Age: This book was also written by Dipesh Chakrabarty, published in 2021. In this work, he discusses the collision of human history with geological history in the wake of climate change and the Anthropocene.

Let's examine why the other books are incorrect:
• B) The Subaltern Studies Reader: Although Dipesh Chakrabarty was a key member of the Subaltern Studies collective, this specific reader was edited by Ranajit Guha (published in 1997).
• C) Identity and Violence: This book (subtitled The Illusion of Destiny, 2006) was written by the Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen.
• E) In Other Worlds: This collection of essays (subtitled Essays in Cultural Politics, 1987) was written by the prominent postcolonial critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

Thus, only books A and D were written by Dipesh Chakrabarty.
