Reviews

""Ruth E. Toulson offers an intimate and unsettling ethnography of grief, ritual, and state power in contemporary Singapore. . . . One of the book's many strengths lies in moments where ethnographic detail and emotional insight converge to reveal the quiet, often painful, dislocations produced by policy. . . . [B]rilliant in its analysis of this ordinary necropolitics."" -- ""Asian Studies Review""
