Beschreibungen/Notizen
Most of the book is an innovative history of south Asia, but there are multiple vignettes about her own experiences of the past half-century, rather like Timothy Garton Ash’s most recent book, Homelands, which blends a history of Europe with the author’s experience of living through the cold war. There is instead a fascinating section on the under-examined art of south Asian wrestling, but cricket would shed more light on one aspect of south Asia that is less visible in this book: the diaspora, and how media has contributed to its globalisation, including cheap telecoms in the 1990s and social media in the 2000s.
