RaveSingapore UnboundShah’s collection of essays helps to bring the often invisible sub-community into a more mainstream consciousness—which is something I, as a diasporic Indian writer myself, deeply appreciate ... Each anecdote is expressed in such vivacious detail and with a poignance that attests to Shah\'s mastery of her craft ... Since the essays have been written across two decades, This Is One Way to Dance bestows on readers the privilege of witnessing Shah\'s evolving understanding of her own cultural mixedness and personhood. This is further underlined by the fact that Shah occasionally reworks or responds to her earlier text-pieces ... The collection also allows readers to observe and examine for themselves how the diaspora and its relationship with the larger American society have evolved with time.
