Mohiniyattam: A Reader stands out as an exceptionally well-edited collection of writings on Mohiniyattam—a classical dance form from Kerala. Sensitive to both its past and present, as well as to the practice and theoretical constructs of this reinvented art form, the editors of the two volumes have compiled contributions from academics and practitioners. These essays form a fascinating and well-planned mosaic of ideas, addressing questions of historical continuity, national and regional identity, and critical engagement with aesthetics.The volumes also delve into intersectional themes such as cultural policies, caste, religion, and gender—areas often neglected in existing literature on Mohiniyattam. This timely collection is a welcome addition to the body of published material on Indian dance.
