Industry Reviews

"There is a bracing freshness to Clark-Dec¨s's reflections that gets us closer to what is true, sociologically and psychologically, about the complex encounters made possible on both the ethnographic and ritual 'field.'" - History of Religions

"...this book succeeds remarkably well when [Clark-Dec¨s] continues to explore that uncanny encounter with her notes and, through them, her younger self and the ethnographic process there in that village fifteen years earlier." - Journal of Anthropological Research

"...an engaging depiction of Tamil ritual in the context of historical change in South India, and should be of interest to scholars of ritual and the dynamics of Tamil society." - Ethos

"This is a fascinating excursion into reflexive anthropology." - Anne Mackenzie Pearson, author of "Because It Gives Me Peace of Mind": Ritual Fasts in the Religious Lives of Hindu Women
