An engrossing & definitive narrative account of history & myth that offers a new way of understanding one of the world's oldest major religions The Hindus elucidates the relationship between recorded history & imaginary worlds Hinduism does not lend itself easily to a strictly chronological account many of its central texts cannot be reliably dated even within a century; its central tenets karma dharma to name just two arise at particular moments in Indian history & differ in each era between genders & caste to caste; & what is shared among Hindus is overwhelmingly outnumbered by the things that are unique to one group or another Yet the greatness of Hinduism
- its vitality its earthiness its vividness
- lies precisely in many of those idiosyncratic qualities that continue to inspire debate today Wendy Doniger is one of the foremost scholars of Hinduism in the world With her inimitable insight & expertise Doniger illuminates those moments within the tradition that resist forces that would standardize or establish a canon Without reversing or misrepresenting the historical hierarchies she reveals how Sanskrit & vernacular sources are rich in knowledge of & compassion toward women & lower castes; how they debate tensions surrounding religion violence & tolerance; & how animals are the key to important shifts in attitudes toward different social classes The Hindus brings a fascinating multiplicity of actors & stories to the stage to show how brilliant & creative thinkers
- many of them far removed from Brahmin authors of Sanskrit texts
- have kept Hinduism alive in ways that other scholars have not fully explored In this unique & authoritative account debates about Hindu traditions become platforms from which to consider the ironies & overlooked epiphanies of history

Is hip-hop sexist or are its detractors simply anti-sex? Does the portrayal of black culture in hip-hop undermine black advancement? A potent exploration of a divisive & important subject The Hip-Hop Wars concludes with a call for the regalvanization of the progressive & creative heart of hip-hop What Rose calls for is not a sanitized vision of the form but one that more accurately reflects a much richer space of culture politics anger & yes sex than the current ubiquitous images in sound & video currently provide ...
