Drawing on fieldwork conducted in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu over seven years, Eliza F. Kent offers a compelling examination of the religious and social context in which south India's sacred groves take on meaning for the villagers who maintain them, and shows how they have become objects of fascination and hope for Indian environmentalists.

J.J. Preston, CHOICE This well-documented study benefits from the increasing use of fieldwork in religious studies. Presented here is religion as it is lived rather than confined to the older, text-bound orientation of religious studies. Very well written, with little jargon, this volume is quite accessible to general, educated readers. It will also be valuable for courses in religious studies, South Asian studies, and anthropology ... Highly recommended.
