"The Life of Hinduism" brings together a series of essays - many
recognized as classics in the field - that present Hinduism as a
vibrant, truly 'lived' religion. Celebrating the diversity for
which Hinduism is known, this volume begins its journey in the 'new
India' of Bangalore, India's Silicon Valley, where global
connections and local traditions rub shoulders daily. Readers are
then offered a glimpse into the multifaceted world of Hindu
worship, life-cycle rites, festivals, performances, gurus, and
castes. The book's final sections deal with the Hinduism that is
emerging in diasporic North America and with issues of identity
that face Hindus in India and around the world: militancy versus
tolerance and the struggle between owning one's own religion and
sharing it with others. Contributors of this title include: Andrew
Abbott, Michael Burawoy, Patricia Hill Collins, Barbara Ehrenreich,
Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Sharon Hays, Douglas Massey, Joya Misra,
Orlando Patterson, Frances Fox Piven, Lynn Smith-Lovin, Judith
Stacey, Arthur Stinchcombe, Alain Touraine, Immanuel Wallerstein,
William Julius Wilson, and Robert Zussman.
