| Summary: | List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Chapter 1. (Im)mobile in the Indian Ocean -- Chapter 2. Pride Politics and the Making of a Religious Minority -- Chapter 3. Relating to India in Different Ways -- Chapter 4. The Quest for Religious Knowledge -- Chapter 5. Strategic Bricolage -- Chapter 6. Rituals, Emotions, and Aesthetics -- Conclusion -- Glossary -- Index -- Seeking recognition presents an important driving force in the making of religious minorities, as is shown in this study that examines current debates on religion, globalization, diaspora, and secularism through the lens of Hindus living in the French overseas department of La Réunion. Through the examination of religious practices and public performance, the author offers a compelling study of how the Hindus of the island assert pride in their religion as a means of gaining recognition, self-esteem, and social status |
