| Summary: | This is a book about Hinduism and the forms—sometimes unique, sometimes heavily influenced by Indian norms—it takes in the United States. It is not a book about Hinduism's place in the American religious context. This is not surprising given Kurien's previous work on the Hindu immigrant experience in other parts of the world, where she pays close attention to immigrant communities' relationships with India and to the mutual influence of immigrant and home communities on one another., Key to Kurien's exploration of Hinduism's growth and change in America is the relationship between religion and politics, particularly the Hindu nationalist movement in India. |
