“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 South. <i>Abundance</i> 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 <i>Abundance: Sexuality’s History</i>, 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) "It is one of the most challenging and gratifying books to have emerged from queer theory in recent years. Perhaps the title says it all: <i>Abundance: Sexuality’s History</i> hides the place of the West because it has been everywhere and nowhere in the social lives of sexual dissent." - Howard Chiang (Journal of the History of Sexuality)
