5.0 out of 5 stars A rare gem..., Jun 22 2003

This review is from: Lotus Of Another Color (Paperback)
This book is an amazing and masterful piece of work. Due to the significant lack of material pertaining to the South Asian Diasporic LBGTQ community one can easily see the relevence and necessity for such a publication. Personal, provacative, critical, analytical, cross-cultural, and ethnically specific are keywords that come to mind in reviewing this title. Highly recommended for any LBGTQ person regardless of ethnicity. A useful resource for any student pursuing academic studies in Queer Studies or South Asian Studies. As relevent today as it was when it was first published!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for any student of India gay/lesbian culture, Oct 17 1998
By sph1783@utsph.sph.uth.tmc.edu or Alan Wells, MPH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lotus Of Another Color (Paperback)
This is an extremely important collection of works on gay and lesbian themes from South Asia for two reasons. Firstly, the genres are authentic, and not filtered through the lenses of Western scholars. Secondly, it successfully relates the context in which homosexual identity is constructed in South Asia. It also has some useful historical essays, and great poetry. A must read for ANY student interested in South Asian gay and lesbian culture.

4.0 out of 5 stars must read, Nov 30 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lotus Of Another Color (Paperback)
The South Asian lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender movement has come a long way since 1993, but Ratti's book is still a primary source of information on the subject and hence a milestone for the movement. The chapters are highly variable in quality but are all eminently readable. Readers are strongly urged to check out www.trikone.org and the khush listserv to see where the desi queer movement is heading these days.
