Reviews

"""In this beautifully written and timely book, Murty explores how popular cultural forms become politically charged. Moving across journalism, film, and other mediascapes, she shows how new forms of storytelling made sense of and won popular consent for majoritarian nationalism in a nation transformed by neoliberal reforms. Rigorously conceptualized and deeply researched, Stories That Bind is a brilliant exemplar of media and cultural studies."" -- Aswin Punathambekar * University of Virginia * ""In this beautifully written and timely book, Murty explores how popular cultural forms become politically charged.
