Reviews

Lucid and accessible, this important book on religion in Gwalior makes a major contribution to the study of urban religion. Daniel Gold's long history of academic and personal engagement with religious people, shrines, and organizations in this city, with its historically important migrations and diverse religious identities, is, quite simply, stellar. Gold's lively style and careful definition of terms renders this work inviting to undergraduates as well as graduate and postgraduate scholars. It is sure to be helpful to and heralded by scholars of religion, anthropology, sociology, and history. Lindsey Harlan, Professor of Religious Studies, Connecticut College
