Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. First edition. "[Sets] the stage for a rewriting of nearly a thousand years of history to create new understandings of the nature of cultural encounters....The volume breaks free from the polemics of present-day politics and historicist distortions that have seeped into most standard texts."--David Lelyveld, Cornell University This collection challenges the popular presumption that Muslims and Hindus are irreconcilably different groups, inevitably conflicting with each other.
