- Abstract
"Radio for the Millions: Hindi–Urdu Broadcasting across Borders" by Isabel Huacuja Alonso is a book that explores the history of Hindi and Urdu radio in South Asia from the 1940s to the 1980s. The author focuses on the role of the "citizen-listener" and how radio crossed various borders, including national, linguistic, disciplinary, and cultural. The book is divided into three parts, each containing two chapters, and covers topics such as the impact of World War II on radio in the region, the development of a national sound standard in post-independent India and Sri Lanka, and the role of radio during the 1965 India-Pakistan War. Alonso's work challenges traditional disciplinary boundaries and emphasizes the importance of aural and sensory histories in performance research.
