Rezensionen

"A wonderfully nuanced exploration of practices and understandings of love in contemporary India between transgression and conformity, beyond tired binaries of arranged vs love marriages, indeed beyond marriage writ large - a delightful read!"

Raphael Susewind, Associate Professor, London School of Economics, UK.



"This book is a timely contribution to the treatment of love in non-Western societies as a complex and possibly paradoxical concept. A must-read for cultural scholars, sociologists and anyone interested in studies of affect, society, and culture in South Asia."

Fritzi-Marie Titzmann, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany.
