Well, this has been a very long time coming. I am so proud of the book I have written, and that @emsilk10 has editorially shaped. Forthcoming from @Harvard_Press in January 2025, my first monograph THE DISINHERITED: THE POLITICS OF CHRISTIAN CONVERSION IN COLONIAL INDIA!
Very excited to announce that Mou Banerjee’s powerful, necessary, and moving book - THE DISINHERITED: THE POLITICS OF CHRISTIAN CONVERSION IN COLONIAL INDIA - is forthcoming in January 2025! @moubanerjee28 @Harvard_Press #coverreveal
