Guru English: South Asian Religion in a Cosmopolitan LanguagePrinceton University Press, 2011 M06 27 - 336 pages Guru English is a bold reconceptualization of the scope and meaning of cosmopolitanism, examining the language of South Asian religiosity as it has flourished both inside and outside of its original context for the past two hundred years. The book surveys a specific set of religious vocabularies from South Asia that, Aravamudan argues, launches a different kind of cosmopolitanism into global use. |
