| 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.” |
