    Reviews

    "Rupal Oza conceptualizes the “contentious debates over India’s identity” in the 1990s through an examination of three distinct but related phenomena: neoliberal policies, the rise of the Hindu Right, and the consolidation of the middle classes…point[s] to how gender, nationalism, and community identities are integrally related in both colonial and postcolonial times…contribute[s] to existing feminist and postcolonial debates in a rich and provocative manner." -- Jinee Lokaneeta, Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Summer 2008
