Outside the Fold: Conversion, Modernity, and Belief
Gauri Viswanathan
Examines religious conversion. This book argues that conversion is an interpretive act that belongs in the realm of cultural criticism. It examines key moments in colonial and postcolonial history to show how conversion questions the limitations of secular ideologies, particularly the discourse of rights central to the British empire.
