Beskrivning
In this provocative study, Milner argues against the widely held view that the caste system of India is unique. Instead he contends that caste distinctions which appear to be singular or exotic are actually similar to customs elsewhere–a theory that sets in sharp relief the methods by which society is organized around status relations.

Recensioner i media
An ambitious book, wide in scope, rich in empirical material, and analytically imaginative ... Status and Sacredness is valuable, I think, not so much for its substantive conclusions as for what it represents methodologically ... There is much in this book that should stimulate fresh thinking.
