Book Synopsis Religion Against the Self : An Ethnography of Tamil Rituals by : Isabelle Nabokov Assistant Professor of Anthropology Princeton University
Book excerpt: In this comprehensive analysis of South Indian village Hinduism, Isabelle Nabokov shows that a wide spectrum of Tamil rituals effects transformations of identity through similar processual and symbolic operations. She reveals that such operations may lead participants to adopt personalities which are at odds with themselves.
