Jacob is a sixty-one year old Jewish widower. He is lonely and depressed mourning the recent loss of his wife of forty years, as well as the recent loss of his sight. He is living alone for the first time, and reflecting on his past. He hires an aide, a young black woman named Knahurra. Knahurra is the Jewish word from the Kabbala for "evil eye." Although Jacob and Knahurra are both from Brooklyn their lives could not be more different. The one thing they have in common, however, is bad luck. Knahurra has suffered poverty, incest, rape and abortion. Yet, Jacob and Knahurra together change their fate and their future.

Sports Studies in India: Expanding the Field
Sports Studies in India, as a part of The Oxford India Studies in Contemporary Society, emerges from a sociological curiosity about sporting experience in terms of participation in sports as well as its theorization in scholarship. This volume aims to forge interest in the field of sports studies and offers a platform for a wide range of studies on sports, employing a variety of approaches, perspectives, and methodologies. The contributions in this volume sport as a microcosm of society, which affords an opportunity to understand the complex nexus of society-state-media. They also examine sport within a political economy perspective through lenses of religion, gender, and class, among others. Interspersed in this collection are case studies, critical explorations of sports in Bollywood, and autobiographical accounts that not only enrich the narrative, but also demonstrate the value of that different genres bring to the discourse of sports studies. In a pandemic-afflicted world where sports is taking new shape, when new norms may well come into being, this collection establishes a framework for understanding change in the realm of sports and society in India
