"In India, where nothing stands still, least of all, tradition, it is remarkable how the unwavering eye of Purnima Mankekar has studied the ceaseless working and reworking of the gendered anxieties of a nationalized, post-colonial, febrile middle under the flickering light of Doordharshan--India's state run television. "Screening Culture, Viewing Politics" is a must for anyone interested in culture in the broadest and most fecund sense of that term."--E. Valentine Daniel, author of "Charred Lullabies: Chapters in an Anthropography of Violence"
