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 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$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 $a9910462371503321 996 $aThe saint in the banyan tree$92488093 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01775nam 2200385 n 450 001 996388497203316 005 20200824121620.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000633922 035 $a(EEBO)2264180209 035 $a(UnM)99834811e 035 $a(UnM)99834811 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000633922 100 $a19851209d1688 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 14$aThe pamphlet entituled, Speculum ecclesiasticum, or an ecclesiastical prospective-glass, considered, in its false reasonings and quotations$b[electronic resource] $eThere are added, by way of preface, two further answers, the first to the defender of the Speculum, the second to the half-sheet against the six conferences 210 $aLondon $cprinted for Ric.
