Lopamudra Sengupta's book is an important contribution to the contemporary interest on the role of globalization on transgender communities. -Serena Nanda, author of Neither Man nor Woman: the Hijras of India (2nd edition) This is a timely and important book as India finds itself, perhaps rather unwillingly, drawn into discussions of gender and sexuality like never before. This book will doubtless incite discussion and comment towards more engagements with issues of gender and sexual diversity that have now been recognised as crucial to the socio-economic health of a country. -Niladri R. Chatterjee, Professor, Dept. of English, University of Kalyani
