By bringing queer theory to bear on ideas of diaspora, Gayatri Gopinath produces both a more compelling queer theory and a more nuanced understanding of diaspora. Focusing on queer female diasporic subjectivity, Gopinath develops a theory of diaspora apart from the logic of blood, authenticity, and patrilineal descent that she argues invariably forms the core of conventional formulations. She examines South Asian diasporic literature, film, and music in order to suggest alternative ways of conceptualizing community and collectivity across disparate geographic locations. Her agile readings challenge nationalist ideologies by bringing to light that which has been rendered illegible or impossible within diaspora: the impure, inauthentic, and nonreproductive. Gopinath juxtaposes diverse texts to indicate the range of oppositional practices, subjectivities, and visions of collectivity that fall outside not only mainstream narratives of diaspora, colonialism, and nationalism but also most projects of liberal feminism and gay and lesbian politics and theory. She considers British Asian music of the 1990s alongside alternative media and cultural practices. Among the fictional works she discusses are V. S. Naipaul’s classic novel A House for Mr. Biswas, Ismat Chughtai’s short story “The Quilt,” Monica Ali’s Brick Lane, Shyam Selvadurai’s Funny Boy, and Shani Mootoo’s Cereus Blooms at Night. Analyzing films including Deepa Mehta’s controversial Fire and Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding, she pays particular attention to how South Asian diasporic feminist filmmakers have reworked Bollywood’s strategies of queer representation and to what is lost or gained in this process of translation. Gopinath’s readings are dazzling, and her theoretical framework transformative and far-reaching.

MATLAB®, a software package developed by Math Works, Inc. is powerful, versatile and interactive software for scientific and technical computations including simulations. Specialised toolboxes provided with several built-in functions are a special feature of MATLAB®. System Design through MATLAB®, Control Toolbox and Simulink® gets the reader started with computations and simulations in system engineering quickly and easily and then proceeds to build concepts for advanced computations and simulations that includes the control and compensation of systems. Simulation through Simulink® has also been described to allow the reader to get the feel of the real-world situation. Material covered includes: system representation and modelling; model manipulation and analysis; GUIs for the Control System Toolbox; control-system design with Simulink®; compensator design; and simple and complex applications. This book is appropriate for undergraduate students undergoing final semester of their project work, postgraduate students who have MATLAB® integrated in their course or wish to take up simulation problem in the area of system engineering for their dissertation work and research scholars for whom MATLAB®, along with its associated toolboxes and Simulink® is an Indispensable took for simulation.

he Koli community in Mumbai has experienced rapid changes over the last few decades, in the forms of increased mechanization, export of fish to global markets, and the pressure of urbanization on their living and work spaces. Through an examination of the lives and struggles of fishers in one of India's wealthiest cities, this book looks at how contestations around livelihoods map out in the shadow of significant encounters between capitalism and ecology.
