Clare M. Wilkinson is Professor of Anthropology at Washington State University. After graduating with a BA in anthropology from Durham University, she earned her PhD in anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania. Her long-term research interests are craft and labour in India, and her publications include Fashioning Bollywood: The Making and Meaning of Costume in Hindi Film (2013), and a co-edited book with Alicia DeNicola, Critical Craft: Technology, Globalization and Capitalism (2016).

Building on her decades of fieldwork in the Mumbai film industry, Wilkinson’s compelling ethnography lures us in to the hitherto hidden worlds of production design workers – at all levels – whose collaborative labour constructs Hindi film reality plank by plank and prop by prop. A ground-breaking and very welcome contribution to the field.
