From the publisher
First line
Tamasha in Hindi is a commotion, a performance song and dance, tragedy: burlesque, and romance strung together with lots of noise as in its heir, the modern Hindi film.
From the rear cover
"Beautifully written, erudite, a perfect balance between theory and ethnography. The narratives are wonderful."--E. Valentine Daniel, author of Charred Lullabies
"No book in medical anthropology matches No Aging in India in its extraordinary richness of ethnographic detail. A feast of stories, lives, and theory--it contains such a thickness of social experience that the reader feels he or she has become a part of India's local worlds. Lawrence Cohen has written one of the finest ethnographic monographs I have read. A triumph of field research and writing, this book will, I feel sure, set the standard for the next wave of ethnographies in medical anthropology."--Arthur Kleinman, author of Writing at the Margin
