- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph is the first to examine the politics of South Asian anti-colonialism and modernity through an extensive engagement with 20th century dance in India, covering the period 1900-2000. The collection and analysis of a vast range of primary, undigitised archival material in the form of rare films, photographs and reviews from across several geographical regions - eastern, central and northern India, as well as archives in Britain - is based on ten years of ethnographic fieldwork. Featuring translations of materials in two Indian languages (Bengali and Hindi), the complexity of this project's undertaking and its ambitious scope justifies double-weighting.
