The population of the South Asian Diaspora in the US is over 2.5 million people. Yet, in a post 9/11 climate of opinion, little is known about this group beyond images of Muslim and Hindu fundamentalists and terrorists.This is particularly true of women where simplistic assumptions about veils and subordination obscure the voices of the women themselves.Rarely are Hindu and Muslim American women - many of whom are social workers, physicians, lawyers, academics, students, homemakers - asked about their everyday lives and religious beliefs.""Living our Religions"" brings out these hidden stories from South Asian American women of Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian and Nepali origin. Their accounts show how diverse and culturally dynamic religious practices emerge within the intersection of histories and politics of specific locales. The authors describe the race, gender, and ethnic boundaries they encounter; they also document how they resist and challenge these boundaries. ""Living our Religions"" cuts through the myths and ethnocentrism of popular portrayals to reveal the vibrancy, courage and agency of an 'invisible' minority.
