Kerala Christian Sainthood: Collisions of Culture and Worldview in South India
Dempsey, Corinne G. (Assistant Professor of Religion, Assistant Professor of Religion, University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point)
In this fieldwork-based study, Corinne Dempsey examines the ways in which Kerala Christians construct "hybrid" (Western and Eastern) identity in a postcolonial world. She focuses on their devotion to saints as a particularly useful point of comparison with similar devotion in European Catholicism and the indigenous Hinduism of the region.
