Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"[A] profound labour of love. . . . Sunya’s book is a gift to faculty and students of both undergraduate and graduate studies because of its depth, lucidity, and accessibility." * FemAsia *
"Sirens of Modernity provides a rigorous and scholarly, yet accessible and engrossing, contribution to Indian cinema studies that will be useful for world cinema studies, sound studies, and gender studies." * Film Quarterly *
"Sunya’s groundbreaking and sophisticated study of Indian commercial cinema, its self-reflexivity, and its excesses. . . .will inspire more research that centers media texts, objects, and contexts beyond bipolar Cold War imaginaries of the field and open new routes of historiographic and theoretical inquiry." * Journal of Cinema and Media Studies *
