These traditions are often assimilated with the other domestic caretaking labor women are expected to complete for their families.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUtilizing a years-long ethnography with Bengali American Hindu women, and drawing from Marxist feminist Social Reproduction Theory, this book argues that domestic shrine traditions are reproductive labor that is essential to the transnational and transgenerational sustenance of Hindu traditions and subjectivities. As the first monograph focused on Hindu women's domestic shrine traditions in the United States, this book illuminates both the value of these traditions for the women who maintain them, and how these traditions connect immigrant Hindus to family and ethno-religious identity in ways unmatched by the public Hindu temple or organization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashlee Norene Andrews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031685083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031685088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Ashlee Norene Andrews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46384206053631,"sku":"9783031685088","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38e64d7f-a613-4051-9814-942a6bb3a106.jpg?v=1733283046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/valuing-hindu-womens-domestic-shrine-ashlee-norene-andrews-9783031685088","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
