"Telemodernities is a valuable addition to a growing body of scholarship... A fascinatingly detailed comparative study of lifestyle television in China, India, and Taiwan, the book seeks to decenter the normative modernity of the West, interrogating instead the role television plays in constituting and interpreting multiple 'modernities.'" - Tilottama Karlekar (Feminist Media Studies) "The scope of the book is expansive, covering all three aspects of media studies: production, content, and audience analysis. The thick description helps immensely with the goal of showing how modernities are interpreted, negotiated, and confronted in nuanced ways...." - Yang Bai (International Journal of Communication) "[Telemodernities] provides a convincing comparative and nuanced analysis of how lifestyle TV filters conflicting ideologies. . . . This book offers groundbreaking comparative work on South Asian television." - Daniel Keyes (Critical Studies in Television)
