Publisher Synopsis
"Tejaswini Niranjana listens to the tones and echoes of Indianness in the Caribbean and elaborates a South-South genealogy that obligates us to reconceive the cultural geography of modernity. From the 'moral status of the coolie woman' in British colonialist and Indian nationalist discourses to the figure of the 'Indian woman' in Afro-Trinidadian calypso, Hindi cinema musics, and female chutney-soca performances, she pronounces the gendered rhythms of popular music as subaltern cultural politics."--Lisa Lowe, author of Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics "Tejaswini Niranjana's fine achievement in Mobilizing India is to have given shape to a compelling way of rethinking the conceptual agenda for the comparative study of the Third World."--David Scott, author of Conscripts of Modernity: The Tragedy of Colonial Enlightenment Read more...
