Recenzii
'A fascinating look at this great Indian traditional wear told through the voices of women who love and live with it on a daily basis'
The Sari is a deeply informative and engaging body of work. Banerjee and Miller allow the reader to gain a stronger understanding of various facets of India through the eye of the sari. Even further, this text also allows the reader to at times, almost feel as if they are wearing this instrumental garment themselves ... Practitioners of global dress studies will want to add this book to their libraries as an important contribution to the cultural study of the sari and the complex historical relationship of a garment and its wearers.
'Intellectually compelling and theoretically sophisticated, The Sari will be of great interest to scholars in many disciplines - from anthropology to women's studies. It is also an absolutely fascinating read, which will appeal to anyone with an interest in India.'
'A fascinating and original insight into one of the most enigmatic garments in the world'
'This book offers rare and intimate insights into the social life of the sari which becomes a metaphor and tool for understanding the biographies of Indian women.'
'Provides a visual feast and an easy introduction to the subject.'
'The strength and charm of this book is the ease with which it distils in an extremely readable, vivacious, and often witty manner the ethnographic perspectives set within a broader context of social, political, and religious changes.'
"This amazing book shows a fascinating aspect of the lives of so many women of and from the subcontinent. It's a worthwhile and compelling read and encourages one to consider the wearer rather than the worn."
