Reviews for Globalization, Nationalism and the Text of Kichaka-Vadha
“I can, wholeheartedly, recommend Solomon’s reliable translation of ‘Kichaka-Vadha’ as an exemplary political prose drama, produced in the ‘golden age’ of Marathi drama. It is a great pedagogical text, and Solomon’s translation brings it to life.” —Kedar A. Kulkarni, “Asian Theatre Journal” “An extremely well-researched and highly significant contribution to the history and politics of early modern anticolonial theatre in India accompanied by a translation of the Marathi text.” —Phillip Zarrilli, University of Exeter “This is an important and much-needed book. Beyond making a fascinating play available in English for the first time, Rakesh H. Solomon demonstrates how social unrest acted upon and helped to shape Indian theatrical production and how that production in turn helped to focus and shape the reimagining of India itself.” —John Emigh, Brown University “‘Globalization, Nationalism and the Text of “Kichaka-Vadha”’ offers an inscape into how modern drama became a strategic tool in the struggle for Indian independence. It provides important insights into the birth of Indian modern drama by noting its hybrid roots and response to the times.” —Kathy Foley, University of California, Santa Cruz, and editor, “Asian Theatre Journal”
