Summary: One of the best ethnographies I have ever read
Comment: This is great work. Mankekar is one of the only authors that I have read to clearly express her thoughts about postcoloniality and its influence on cultural production. This book is full of great insights about the construction of Indian identity and the homogenization of differences that particpates in that construction. While, like in many ethnographic work, we don't have a clear sense of how she reached her analysis, Mankekar certainly bases her insights on very detailed fieldwork in Delhi's suburbs. I only wish I had written this book myself.

Summary: Interesting study of television
Comment: This book provides an indepth look into the effect of television on Indian people, esp women. I thought the book was easy to read and understand, yet still provided insightful commentary and information. The book is based off of research the author did, viewing television programs with lower middle class families. I would recomend this book to anyone interested in India, politics, or the history of communications.
