To Be Cared For The Power of Conversion and Foreignness of Belonging in an Indian Slum【電子書籍】[ Nathaniel Roberts ]

   

<p><em>To Be Cared For</em> offers a unique view into the conceptual and moral world of slum-bound Dalits (“untouchables”) in the South Indian city of Chennai. Focusing on the decision by many women to embrace locally specific forms of Pentecostal Christianity, Nathaniel Roberts challenges dominant anthropological understandings of religion as a matter of culture and identity, as well as Indian nationalist narratives of Christianity as a “foreign” ideology that disrupts local communities. Far from being a divisive force, conversion integrates the slum communityーChristians and Hindus alikeーby addressing hidden moral fault lines that subtly pit residents against one another in a national context that renders Dalits outsiders in their own land."</p> <p>Read an <a href="www.asian-studies.org/asia-now/entryid/120/asianow-speaks-with-nathaniel-roberts">interview</a> with the author on the Association for Asian Studies' #AsiaNow blog.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
