To Be Cared For: The Power of Conversion and Foreignness of Belonging in an Indian Slum - The Anthropology of Christianity
Nathaniel Roberts
Offers a unique view into the conceptual and moral world of slum-bound Dalits ("untouchables") in the South Indian city of Chennai. Focusing on the decision by many women to embrace locally specific forms of Pentecostal Christianity, the author challenges dominant anthropological understandings of religion as a matter of culture and identity.
