Review:

'A major contribution to the literature on ethnic minorities in Britain.' MAN '...a wealth of data...and clarity of analysis...this book is a must. It is also important reading for those interested in the social organization and rituals of South Asian Islamic communitites.' Anthropos 'Werbner's study makes a valuable and readable contribution to the comparative literature on gift-economies in 'capitalist commoditised' societies. Recommended for all serious collections in anthropology and sociology.' Choice '...one of the most exhaustive studies to date of a South Asian diaspora in Britain...' American Anthropologist '...a fascinating insight into an ethnic minority culture of Muslim origin.' Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
