Unfinished Gestures: Devadasis, Memory, and Modernity in South India (South Asia Across the Disciplines)
"Sensitive, sympathetic, and very well-written, Unfinished Gestures moves the debate about devadasis in a new and interesting direction and will be the standard bearer in the field. Soneji's ethnographic work supports his historical claims and brings to life the poignancy of contemporary devadasis' lives." (Janaki Bakhle, Columbia University)"
