Nishaant Choksi is Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology-Gandhinagar, India.
An important contribution to ethnographically informed discussions of graphic pluralism, here Choksi expertly delves into the complex issues concerning the politics of script, revealing the ways that multiple scripts are implicated in concerns about languages, territory, community, senses of history and, ultimately, autonomy. An insightful book. * Anthony K.
