Beyond Bollywood and Broadway: Plays from the South Asian Diaspora
"... fills a conspicuous gap in the literature of the South Asian diaspora." —Khabar, July 1, 2009"An important contribution to the field of South Asian diasporic studies... it has significant potential to invigorate both an academic audience and a general audience of theatre enthusiasts interested in South Asian diasporic drama." —Rajini Srikanth, co-editor, Contours of the Heart: South Asians Map North America"The collection is well-structured, with a broad historical overview of the South Asian Diaspora and of its theatre, followed by four distinct sections, each dealing with a selected locale and selected playwrights, with a representative play for each. Bose does not succumb to the temptation of covering too much ground cursorily. The strength of the book is its judicious balance between breadth and depth." —www.literarytourism.co.za, 11/16/2010"By any estimation, 'Beyond Bollywood and Broadway' is an amazing start to a discussion of South Asian diaspora theatre.... This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in postcolonial migration, diaspora communitites and arts, or theatrical traditions in any of these countries." —Kristen Rudisill, Bowling green State University, Text & Presentation, 2009
