Bollywood weddings

Descripción

This book examines how middle-to upper-class second-generation Indian American Hindus negotiate wedding rituals, including the dating and engagement processes. Many of these couples display their Hindu religious background only on important occasions such as the rite of passage that is marriage, and they must negotiate two vastly different cultures and sets of values inside a community that has itself largely predetermined how to mix American and Indian/Hindu elements into this ritual.
