Review

Robinson and Clarke have brought together an unpretentious collection of essays that will unsettle easy assumptions we make about conversion, call into question the boundaries we impose upon religious identities, and remind us of the abundant and multifarious ways in which the peoples of India have imagined religious ways of being. Hopefully it will contribute to an altogether more calm and informed discussion of the matter than we are used to. (Asian Voice)

The volume is empirically rich and does not impose any tendentious theoretical speculations on the diverse material collected. (Asian Voice)
