The most penetrating study of conversion to date,
By
This review is from: Outside the Fold (Paperback)
Dr. Viswanathan has examined conversion with an eye to the subjective experience and self-definitions of converts themselves, thereby throwing into sharp relief the institutional frameworks (legal, social, religious, colonial, native) which had heretofore labeled and defined conversion experiences both in colonized India and in the English metropole. A work of stunning insight and erudition, it should prove critical in any informed examination of conversion, including its causes and repercussions in all societies that are negotiating an often tortured relationship with modernity.
