"Pandey complicates dominant narratives about religion, increased secularization, and immigrant life in America. He presents an in-depth look at why a group of South Asians are (re)creating and (re)circulating religious literacies and practices. Similarly, Pandey questions the American Dream narrative, demonstrating the complex ways in which life in America can inspire young people to 'return' to a country in which they have never lived.-- ""Julie Nelson Christoph, University of Puget Sound"" Timely.
