“In Cave of My Ancestors, Narayan tells a fascinating story about one of the world’s most remarkable archaeological sites. This is an outstanding example of how sound scholarship and superb storytelling can be combined.” * Amitav Ghosh, author of The Nutmeg’s Curse * “Few can match Narayan’s ability to tell a story that is at once personal, scholarly, historical, contemporary, ethnographically focused, and yet inescapably global. Sparkling with wit, intelligence, and an abiding sense of humanity, this is a beautiful book and a brilliant achievement.” * Dipesh Chakrabarty, author of The Climate of History in a Planetary Age * “In this engaging and often moving book, Narayan masterfully interweaves a rich autobiographical fragment with ethnohistorical materials that provide a remarkable description and analysis of Western Indian artisan communities.” * David Shulman, coauthor of The Bitter Landscapes of Palestine *
