| Abstract |
In this introduction to the special double issue, the guest editors outline their vision behind the work by giving a short overview of the orientalist
bias in game studies, the postcolonialist turn in the field, and the need for South Asia-centric scholarship to contribute to and invite South-South
discourse in games scholarship. This short introduction also introduces the various contributions to this double issue which range from academic
articles to book reviews to comments. |
