An important contribution to the field of South Asian diasporic studies... it has significant potential to invigorate both an academic audience and a general audience of theatre enthusiasts interested in South Asian diasporic drama. -Rajini Srikanth, co-editor, Contours of the Heart: South Asians Map North America ... fills a conspicuous gap in the literature of the South Asian diaspora. -Khabar, July 1, 2009 By any estimation, 'Beyond Bollywood and Broadway' is an amazing start to a discussion of South Asian diaspora theatre... This is a book that should be read by anyone interested in postcolonial migration, diaspora communitites and arts, or theatrical traditions in any of these countries. -Kristen Rudisill, Bowling green State University, Text & Presentation, 2009 The collection is well-structured, with a broad historical overview of the South Asian Diaspora and of its theatre, followed by four distinct sections, each dealing with a selected locale and selected playwrights, with a representative play for each. Bose does not succumb to the temptation of covering too much ground cursorily. The strength of the book is its judicious balance between breadth and depth. -www.literarytourism.co.za, 11/16/2010
