Some of Lata Mani's works include Contentious Traditions, written in 1998, which discusses "Sati" or widow burning in colonial India [2] as well as "Multiple Mediations: Feminist Scholarship in the Age of Multinational Reception" [3], concerning positionality and location and how they can effect knowledge and how it is received.
