Description and Table of Contents

Description

Prisoners of Faith describes and analyzes the ethnic life force of Muslims and Christians which determines their private-public identity orientations as individual members of India's two largest minority communities. Srinivasan successfully presents the case for conceptualizing minorities in terms of individual perceptions and awareness and synthesises phenomenology and Marxism for the study of personal identity as a social structure and process.
