About this book
In this captivating study of Sabu, the first Indian to become an international film star, Michael Lawrence charts the historical, political, cultural and technological contexts of Sabu's career and explores how his association with the "exotic" reflected contemporary attitudes to "the East" and led to an underestimation of his agency as an actor.
