Nusrat: The Voice of Faith
Shahenshah-e-Qawwali, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's voice gripped the imagination of people across the world. A man of deep simplicity, as well as someone truly of his times, he singlehandedly made qawwali a global passion. With hundreds of albums to his credit, and millions of sales, Nusrat had an all-consuming mission: to spread the message of the Sufi poets and mystics. In Pakistan and abroad, he reincarnated the ancient Sufi culture, steeped in mysticism and devotion, with a blazing modernity. This book is a personal account of the great qawwal's life by Pierre-Alain Baud who had intimate access to Nusrat for over a decade.

Listening with a Feminist Ear
Listening with a Feminist Ear is a study of the cultural politics and possibilities of sound in cinema. Eschewing ocularcentric and siloed disciplinary formations, the book takes seriously the radical theoretical and methodological potential of listening. It models a feminist interpretive practice that is not just attuned to how power and privilege are materialized in sound, but that engenders new, counter-hegemonic imaginaries. Focusing on mainstream Bombay cinema, Sundar identifies singing, listening, and speaking as key sites in which gendered notions of identity and difference take form. Charting new paths through seven decades of film, media, and cultural history, Sundar identifies key shifts in women’s playback voices and the Islamicate genre of the qawwali. She also conceptualizes spoken language as sound, and turns up the volume on a capacious, multilingual politics of belonging that scholarly and popular accounts of nation typically render silent. All in all, Listening with a Feminist Ear offers a critical sonic sensibility that reinvigorates debates about the gendering of voice and body in cinema, and the role of sound and media in conjuring community.
