Thanks Sanjay for making this available. I’ve enjoyed dipping into it again, many years later. It was a seminal work by all of you. I’ve posted about this on my blog and, as I said on John H’s blog, let me know if anything is amiss.

Comment on Mobilizing India: Women, Music, and Migration between India and Trinidad by Nisha Ji

It is great review. But it is not whole India whole things. Music is from a part of India as well as women and migration. If we look into migration then In India most of the people migrate from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. If we look women then they migrate from West Bengal of India mostly. Like this music basically from Maharashtra and UP. It is migration situation of music and women from India.

Comment on The conceit of Academic Peer Review by sanjay

Yes, it’s an appalling review.
And what’s worse is how the Journal Editors simply passed it on to me. Scandalous!
My article was rejected on the basis of this single review.

Comment on The conceit of Academic Peer Review by Anna Gough-Yates

I am amazed at this Sanjay. Not only is it a vile review, but the fact that this is a rejection that seems to be based entirely on the fact that the author misunderstands and disagrees with your paper is outrageous! Surely journal articles are to provoke debate, not just to replicate the views of reviewers and editors? What a boring place the world would be (and reading this review, apparently is). I’d be tempted to write to the editors and complain, but of course, there are risks here too…..chin up and send it to a journal that will appreciate it…..

Christ on a bike! What a vile review Sanjay! Hopefully somewhere else with half a brain accepts the paper (which i would love to read by the way!).

Reminds me (in a converse way) of a paper i submitted to Race and Class – all i got was a one line email saying they didnt quite think the paper (on race and class in celebrity BB) fitted the journal! No reviewer’s comments, no nothing! As you say, i think some people ‘in the establishment’ wan us to just leave the ‘race work’ to those euro-white boys already doing it (in banal, tiresome ways).

Cheers,
Damien X
