Conclusion
Radhika Gajjala
On-line/off-line, global/local, first world/third world, virtual/real, traditional/modern, and many more, this book reveals just how inadequate the old binaries (and quite a few of the new ones) have become. In an intricate set of weavings that stretch from handloom to Second Life, Radhika Gajjala and her various co-authors navigate the dense registers where voice and agency are always on the move, always to be made.
