Recenzii
"These two works by Suzanne Chazan-Gillig and Pavitranand Ramhota are an important contribution to the literature on Hinduism in diaspora, and the intangible cultural heritage of Indian subaltern migrants. They are a valuable resource for scholars of post-indenture societies and comparative religious studies more generally."
Marina Carter, Honorary Research Fellow, University of Edinburgh, UK.
“Pavitranand Ramhota and Suzanne Chazan-Gillig in their book explore the unknown sources of the ritual practices of folk Hinduism. They have given a new idea of folk Hinduism which has never been searched and studied. This research is an advancement in the field of social sciences, humanities, theology and religions. Such a folk Hinduism is also found among the Indian communities in Fiji, Caribbean, African countries and in South Asia. The research can give new ideas when the universities of other Indian Diasporas, Indonesian and South Asian countries compare the transition of Mauritian Hinduism.”
Mohan K. Gautam, Professor, Leiden University, The Netherlands
“An outstanding work which fills the long overdue gap in scholarship on society and culture of Mauritius. What distinguishes this work is its novel approach of using religion as a key to the understanding of society. . . The book will be useful not for scholars studying Mauritius but also for anthropologists, sociologists, culture and religious studies scholars.”
