Einband berieben u. stw. leicht beschabt. - SEHR SELTEN. - Englisch. - Colourful, exotic and stereotyped, described by outsiders in terms of cliches resounding with ignorance, the Asians of Kenya are superficially known and much misunderstood by other ethnic groups. The very name "Asians" indiscriminately lumps together communities of immense diversity - and complexity. The Asians of Kenya compose a kaleidoscope of cultures. And their cultures, encountered and observed through open doors, are what this book is all about. Described in the text, and illustrated by a large selection of beautiful photographs, are communities, associations and sects (Verlagstext) // Preface Introduction --- THE ZOROASTRIANS --- THE HINDUS --- REVIVALS, REFORMATIONS & --- REVISIONS OF HINDUISM THE JAINS THE MUSLIMS THE SIKHS THE CHRISTIANS NON-SECTARIAN REGIONAL & --- CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS MODERN SECULAR INSTITUTIONS --- Acknowledgements & Sources --- Glossary --- Appendices --- Index --- Maps: India & Pakistan; Gujarat --- Indian Ocean Countries; Kenya. // Organisationen: .
