The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World
The Rites Controversies in the Early Modern World is a collection of fourteen articles focusing on debates concerning the nature of “rites” raging in intellectual circles of Europe, Asia and America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The controversy started in Jesuit Asian missions where the method of accommodation, based on translation of Christianity into Asian cultural idioms, created a distinction between civic and religious customs. Civic customs were defined as those that could be included into Christianity and permitted to the new converts. However, there was no universal consensus among the various actors in these controversies as to how to establish criteria for distinguishing civility from religion. The controversy had not been resolved, but opened the way to radical religious scepticism. Contributors are: Claudia Brosseder, Michela Catto, Gita Dharampal-Frick, Pierre Antoine Fabre, Ana Carolina Hosne, Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia, Giuseppe Marcocci, Ovidiu Olar, Sabina Pavone, István Perczel, Nicholas Standaert, Margherita Trento, Guillermo Wilde and Ines G. Županov.

Blues from the Malabar Coast
These twelve delightful linked stories begin in a small village on India's Malabar coast. The Variyars are a traditional matriarchal family, large and close knit, their children are numerous and spoilt, and life revolves around the temple. The family and its fortunes are described through the perecptions of its various members, particularly the younger ones. "Blues from the Malabar Coast" describes the life of the family, dominated from dusk till dawn by the old grandmother in the kitchen... In "Leela's Dream," a young widow gives birth to a daughter whom - by invoking an old custom - she promises to the son of a beloved brother who will soon marry; the young couple so engaged are Ven and Seema. In "Greener pastures" they arrive in Quebec City, whose winters Ven adores and where Seema recalls the life of her family. In "Going Back" Seema returns for the cremation of her father, an honest, unassuming tax inspector with whom she has wandered the length and breadth of India. Joyful, poignant, and sad, this wonderful collection tells a story in its many stories, of a village and its people, of a nation, and of our times.
