Abundance by Anjali Arondekar
Anjali Arondekar refuses the historical common sense that archival loss is foundational to a subaltern history of sexuality, by theorizing the radical abundance of sexuality through the archives of a caste-oppressed Devadasi collective in South Asia.
“By shifting our attention from the recuperation of sexuality as loss to understanding it as a site of abundance, Anjali Arondekar forces a reckoning with the knowledges of subaltern groups in the global SouthAbundance will blow a wide hole in South Asian historiography as well as sexuality studies in the United States.” -- Indrani Chatterjee, author of * Forgotten Friends: Monks, Marriages, and Memories of Northeast India *
"With her brilliantly conceived Abundance: Sexuality’s History, Professor Anjali Arondekar . . . has reset the bar very high, with one of the best, richest and most important books of Indian historiography ever written. It’s a huge achievement, with even huger implications for how we assess and think about our collective past." -- Vivek Menezes * O Heraldo *
