Telling Lives in India: Biography, Autobiography, and Life HistoryDavid Arnold, Stuart Blackburn "This book serves as a window into the rich and revealing lives and self-representations of the particular individuals who have produced the life histories. In so doing, it makes very important broader points about the use of life histories in social science research in general and in the study of South Asian social-cultural life in particular." —Sarah Lamb |
