Synopsis
The author examines individual and collective ritual modes and issues of caste conflict as manifested in church celebration. The issues discussed include kinship and the implication of Catholicism for rules of marriage, ideas about inheritance and gender, reasons for conversion, and the clash of traditions. Overall, this book provides a rich analysis of the interplay between Christianity and colonialism as well as the emerging disharmony of tradition in a new social context.Book Details
