“This powerful book asks what it means to survive and come of age amid migrations, separations, social fracture, and the shifting realities of life in postcolonial, neoliberal India.”
“An analytically precise and intimately wrought account of contemporary economic and psychic transformations of patriarchal domination in Indian Punjab and in its diasporas.”
“Bold, provocative, and eloquently written... Gill provides a compelling and often harrowing look at the cultural, societal and sexual attitudes that govern life in present-day Indian Punjab.”
“ A poignant ode to the possibility of another way to live and love, beyond the violence and cruelty of patriarchal authority... Gill writes with courage and conviction, weaving a gripping personal story together with keenly observed social and political history.”
“With verve, intimacy, and insight, Gill takes us on a tour of “Macholand,” a globalized Punjabi landscape of arranged marriages, patriarchal family, and caste-bound kinship.”
“Coming of Age in Macholand is a powerful, intimate, and deeply moving account of Punjabi masculinity... A major contribution to the field of Sikh and Punjab studies.”
