He explores four case histories: performance artist Karen Finley and her court case revolving around public funding for the arts; the lawsuits involving the film I am Curious (Yellow); the controversy surrounding a community's performance of Angels in America; and the racist songwriting of David Allen Coe. 410 0$aLaw and society (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aFreedom of speech$zUnited States 606 $aPerforming arts$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aFreedom of speech 615 0$aPerforming arts$xLaw and legislation 676 $a342.730853 700 $aNunns$b Stephen$f1963-$01517761 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785953603321 996 $aActing up$93754986 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05017nam 2201045Ia 450 001 9910785505103321 005 20230126205809.0 010 $a1-283-61328-X 010 $a0-520-95397-5 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520953970 035 $a(CKB)2670000000242531 035 $a(EBL)1028906 035 $a(OCoLC)815281422 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000826543 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12281262 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000826543 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10808424 035 $a(PQKB)10688283 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000124679 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1028906 035 $a(OCoLC)826065114 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse31001 035 $a(DE-B1597)520921 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520953970 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1028906 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10604322 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL392573 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000242531 100 $a20120627d2012 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe saint in the banyan tree$b[electronic resource] $eChristianity and caste society in India /$fDavid Mosse 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (408 p.) 225 0 $aThe anthropology of Christianity ;$v14 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-520-27349-4 311 $a0-520-25316-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tIllustrations --$tPreface --$tAcknowledgments --$tNote on Transliteration --$tIntroduction --$t1.

Starting in the seventeenth century, when the religion was integrated into Tamil institutions of caste and popular religiosity, this study moves into the twentieth century, when Christianity became an unexpected source of radical transformation for the country's 'untouchables' (dalits). Mosse shows how caste was central to the way in which categories of 'religion' and 'culture' were formed and negotiated in missionary encounters, and how the social and semiotic possibilities of Christianity lead to a new politic of equal rights in South India. Skillfully combining archival research with anthropological fieldwork, this book examines the full cultural impact of Christianity on Indian religious, social and political life. Connecting historical ethnography to the preoccupations of priests and Jesuit social activists, Mosse throws new light on the contemporary nature of caste, conversion, religious synthesis, secularization, dalit politics, the inherent tensions of religious pluralism, and the struggle for recognition among subordinated people. 410 4$aThe Anthropology of Christianity 606 $aChristianity$zIndia, South 606 $aTamil (Indic people)$xReligion 606 $aChristianity and other religions 606 $aSocial classes$zIndia, South$xReligious aspects 606 $aCaste$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 610 $aanthropology. 610 $abooks for history lovers. 610 $acaste system in india. 610 $acatholicism. 610 $achristian church. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aevolution of christianity. 610 $agod and religion. 610 $ahinduism. 610 $ahistory of christianity. 610 $ahistory of religion. 610 $ahome school history books. 610 $aindian religion. 610 $ainformative books. 610 $aleisure reads. 610 $anonfiction books. 610 $apass on books. 610 $apolitical. 610 $areligion and culture. 610 $areligion and politics. 610 $areligion history and culture. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $asouth indian history. 610 $awhat is christianity. 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aTamil (Indic people)$xReligion. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions. 615 0$aSocial classes$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aCaste$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a275.4/0808694 700 $aMosse$b David$0696358 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785505103321 996 $aThe saint in the banyan tree$93816416 997 $aUNINA
