Recenzii
I have long been waiting for this book. Pintchman presents us with a fascinating case study of a translocal goddess who has rooted herself in Michigan, in the process transforming the area into a node of the Goddess's shaktiscape and an enlivened seat of the feminine divine. From beginning to end, Pintchman and the Goddess enthrall.
The story of the creation of Michigan's Parashakti Temple is a remarkable one, even more so in the context of a fire that gutted the temple in 2018 and prompted its rebuilding. Pintchman takes us into the life of this temple with an immediacy that echoes the way devotees themselves experience the Goddess's energy. This is a Hindu story for sure, but it also involves African Americans, Native Americans, and even the Ark of the Covenant. Truly compelling.
Pintchman's incisive and insightful exploration of how a popular south Indian goddess comes to Michigan is a richly textured and nuanced account of diasporic devotion, miracles, and divine dispensation. Goddess Beyond Boundaries is a sensitive work of not just literature but art and affect.
