| Summary, etc. | "This translation of a groundbreaking book by the internationally renowned German ethonographer G�nther-Dietz Sontheimer describes the religious system of a pastoralist area which includes parts of three linguistic regions: Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Making use of oral<br/>narratives collected from this area, the book critically examines its gods and their worshippers: not only pastoralists, but also ferrymen, merchants, robbers, and wandering holy men. Sontheimer places the oral material in its social, cultural, and ecological context, showing how myths and ritual<br/>cycles give shape to the people's collective identity and attitudes toward other communities. The result of hundreds of interviews, the book not only presents an unprecedented look at a virtually unstudied and fast disappearing way of life but makes a significant contribution to the understanding<br/>of Hindu tradition" |
