Recenzii
'Openshaw's excellent ethnographic and linguistic skills have enabled her to capture culture in the making. Her awareness of diverse bodies of literature makes her alert to nuances of meaning … this superb ethnography has implications for debates in many other fields and it is to be hoped that it will become known beyond the self-contained world of south Asian studies. It adds to the growing literature undermining 'the world religions' model of human religio-cultural activity. It is relevant to debates on cultural ideas about the body, and on the nature of the 'self'. And as for Orientalist and Indian nationality ideas about the 'spiritual east' here is have a classic example of indigenous Indian sceptical materialism.' Contemporary South Asia
'this work, the fruit of nearly two decades of fieldwork, is a model of careful scholarship expressed in clear, crisp yet nuanced prose … Openshaw provides a fascinating analysis of the intricate thought-world and lifestyle of Bauls … Seeking Bauls of Bengal is a remarkable book, destined to become a landmark in the field.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'The book is bound to become a classic in the study of Bauls, as well as in Indian esotericism and folk cults.' South Asia Research
'For specialists in South Asian studies, the book is a must read; startling, illuminating, erudite, and absolutely engrossing, it is one of the more original contributions to the field in several years.' Journal of Anthropological Research
'This book is a tour de force, certainly the best book in English on the subject. It looks at Bauls with fresh eyes, is both thoughtful and thought-provoking, and provides many new insights into the subject. The book reflects Openshaw's dedication to her subject. … It will no doubt transform the way in which scholars view Bauls. It may even change popular perceptions.' Journal of the American Oriental Society
