| South
Asian Masculinities:
Context of Change, Sites of Continuity |
| “This
volume convincingly highlights that gender
research in South Asia has largely ignored
masculinity and goes on to identify the various
areas where research into masculinities is
urgently needed…[The] book pulls together
work that expresses a range of South Asian
experiences and a wide set of methodological
and theoretical orientations…This achievement
is exciting and desperately needed.” |

| “[This
volume] is notable in its telling of narratives
of masculinity located in South Asia that
counter western-centric work in the field…The
editors acknowledge that masculinity is what
men do, stressing on performativity rather
than an essential or reductionist view.” |

| “…[T]he
book…is the first of its kind…to
engage with the complexity of masculinities
and its relation to power in contemporary
South Asia…the papers in it are not
only well researched, but also analytically
capable of triggering new ways of looking
at gender, power and identity.” |
