Reviews

Priya Swamy brings us to a twice-displaced Hindu diaspora community in the Netherlands, whose history of indentured labour still resonates. By exploring absent Hindu temples in a neighbourhood in southeast Amsterdam, Swamy's theoretically sophisticated approach to today's post-colonial realities opens important new vistas for the study of Hindu diaspora. * Corinne Dempsey, Professor of Religious Studies, Nazareth College, USA *
