Culture, Religion and Home-making in and Beyond South Asia

World Religions

“The book is a welcome collection of empirical studies on religion and space and in particular on the role of the idea of 'home' in South Asia, in diasporas, in the experience of women, and in literary texts. The book illustrates that sacredness of space and home is constructed by human agency as part of social and cultural processes and is ever changing.”
