Hindu Ritual at the Margins: Innovations, Transformations, Reconsiderations

Hindu Ritual at the Margins explores Hindu forms of ritual activity in a variety of marginal contexts. The contributors collectively examine ritual practices in diaspora; across gender, ethnic, social, and political groups; in film, text, and art; in settings where ritual itself or direct discussion of ritual is absent; in contexts that create new opportunities for traditionally marginalized participants or challenge the received tradition; and via theoretical perspectives that have been undervalued in the academy.
