Hinduism is a much contested term used to describe the religious beliefs & practices of more than 800 million people most of whom live in India Yet Hinduism is a religion which lacks a set of core beliefs (there is no founder no single scripture nor any central organisation) The sheer diversity of beliefs (Hindus may be atheists polytheists & monotheists) & practices that vary across social groups & regions has led some to claim that the term ' Hindu' is almost meaningless What do Hindus Believe? argues however that there are central threads in this diversity which can be traced through more than three thousand years from the prehistoric depictions of Hindu deities in the Indus Valley Civilisation through classical medieval & colonial periods The title's examination of Hinduism in the twenty-first century discusses the rise of ' Hindutva' or Hindu-nationalism in India & examines beliefs & practices in the Hindu diaspora with particular emphasis on Britain The title also examines the depictions in the media of Hindu beliefs & practices (religious soap operas such as the Mahabharata & the Ramayana; religious ceremonies & miracles in popular cinema) & looks at the significance of media (the Internet satellite & cable television) in connecting the Hindu diaspora to India ...

Explorations of science technology & innovation in Africa not as the product of "technology transfer" from elsewhere but as the working of African knowledge In the STI literature Africa has often been regarded as a recipient of science technology & innovation rather than a maker of them In this book scholars from a range of disciplines show that STI in Africa is not merely the product of "technology transfer" from elsewhere but the working of African knowledge Their contributions focus on African ways of looking meaning-making & creating The chapter authors see Africans as intellectual agents whose perspectives constitute authoritative knowledge & whose strategic deployment of both endogenous & inbound things represents an African-centered notion of STI " Things do not (always) mean the same from everywhere" observes Clapperton Chakanetsa Mavhunga the volume's editor Western colonialist definitions of STI are not universalizable The contributors discuss topics that include the trivialization of indigenous knowledge under colonialism; the creative labor of chimurenga the transformation of everyday surroundings into military infrastructure; the role of enslaved Africans in America as innovators & synthesizers; the African ethos of "fixing"; the constitutive appropriation that makes mobile technologies African; & an African innovation strategy that builds on domestic capacities The contributions describe an Africa that is creative technological & scientific showing that African STI is the latest iteration of a long process of accumulative multicultural knowledge production Contributors Geri Augusto Shadreck Chirikure Chux Daniels Ron Eglash Ellen Foster Garrick E Louis D A Masolo Clapperton Chakanetsa Mavhunga Neda Nazemi Toluwalogo Odumosu Katrien Pype Scott Remer ...
