'Gupta's book is a timely intervention which wrestles with the legacy of theory and the intellectual fallout of identity politics in the humanities. This is a wide-ranging, intelligent and politically-engaged study that refocuses our attention on exactly what it is we do, and should be doing, when we study literature and culture.' - Dr Mark Turner, King's College, University of London, UK
