Work, Ritual, Biography: A Muslim Community in North India

This book provides an ethnographic account of a community of Muslim weavers - the Ansaris - of Barabanki, central U.P. It analyses the place of weaving in the Ansari social structure, the work of Ansari womwn as quilt makers, the ritual of circumcision and the biography of an Ansari individual. These domains are linked by the way the Ansaris represent the body.
