Performing the Ramayana Tradition - Enactments, Interpretations, and Arguments

Additional text

The book's most significant contribution to studies of the Ramayana would be its context-specific analyses of the case studies, the range of performance traditions engaged, and the multiplicity of voices. This breadth and diversity - of texts, examples and issues - are counterpointed by the editors' and contributors' meticulous attention to environments and conditions... [The book] performs its message of pluralism, in its mode, form and concerns.
