Product Description

'Imaginative, well-researched, and well-argued, Naha's book makes an original contribution to the burgeoning field of sports history in South Asia and to cultural criticism in general. His deliberate eschewal of methodological nationalism and his skillful exploration of the “public culture” produced in Calcutta around the game of cricket - by media reports, sports commentaries, literary writings, gendered spectatorship, and policing and political practices - offer insights that will stay with all students of postcolonial histories. A remarkable achievement.'
