Back almost a year ago, I was approached by Duke University Press to license an image of my artwork Anamika Sengupta (Ann) to them for the cover of a forthcoming title "Unsettling India: Affect, Temporality, Transnationality" by Purnima Mankekar who is a Professor of Gender Studies and Asian American Studies at UCLA.. I was thrilled as I was a fan of Purnima's work having reviewed it for my graduate thesis.

Earlier this summer, a copy of the final published book arrived on my doorstep with my artwork on the cover! Maybe it's time we judge a book by its cover.
