Abstract

look of the journal, dismay that not everyone could read what at that time seemed to so many scholars to be our impenetrably awful prose. There were other hurdles, big ones, to get over. The compatibility or incompatibility of what passed for Marxism then and so-called theory or postmodernism or poststructuralism were the razor’s edge; our intellectual debts to the other theory projects then in process, such as Subaltern Studies, Public Culture, and Cultural Critique, were meted out during the journal’s first decade. Don Lowe was the only Asianist intellectual of his generation who could distinguish what in retrospect was a thoroughly predictable generational conflict from the true stakes of the project. These were, and continue to be, the endless work of opening an inclusive and collaborative international forum that contributes to shifting the epistemic and foundational assumptions of studies of “Asia,” no matter where the scholarship originates. In service of the journal Donald did more than his share of the slogging grunt work it takes to get any large-scale project off the ground. We worked with Ken Wissoker, who appears in the pictures, too, and Sue Hall, the designer, as well as Rob Dilworth, to put the
