Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Vanita has an astonishing ability to make texts speak to each other. Her intimacy with medieval devotional literature, Urdu poetry as well as modern forms of popular culture result in essays that are sparkling with wit and humour and will male us reexamine what it is to become man, to become woman, or to become animal.' --Veena Das

Reseña del editor:

A collection of compelling essays which interrogate a variety of Indian texts and contexts along intersecting axes of gender, nation, and desire. Written in style that is informed by scholarship yet accesible to the general reader, and boldly addressing a number of issues which South Asian society would `rather not talk about`, this is a timely volume which effectively narrows the looming gap between sexuality and gender.
