Acknowledgments
Kalyani Devaki Menon is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at DePaul University.
"Menon provides a vivid portrait of the everyday lives of Hindu
nationalist women. A witty, candid, unassuming ethnographer, she
combines critical self-reflection with critical insights into the
women she studies. Everyday Nationalism is an important
contribution to scholarship in women's studies, South Asian
studies, and anthropology."—Amrita Basu, Amherst College
"Menon argues that central to the popularity and success of Hindu
nationalism is its willingness to accommodate groups whose beliefs
and practices may be incongruous with the movement's mainstream. .
. . An excellent study of a timely issue."—Choice
"Everyday Nationalism is an important book for understanding the
dynamics and rationale of hindutva ideology. Kalyani Menon's
brilliant reconstruction reveals women as the key to the Hindu
nationalist goal to establish India as a Hindu nation."—Missiology:
