Rezensionen

'Shashwati Goswami's book fills two important lacunae in existing scholarship. First, it provides a long-needed critical evaluation of communication policies undertaken in India's family planning programme from the 1950s to the present. Secondly, and related, she demonstrates the formative influence of the family planning programme on media growth in India more broadly'
