From the publisher
From the rear cover
"This book is full of fresh ideas, ideas that have a kind of timeliness to them such that one gives ones assent as soon as one reads them. The author's voice is welcoming, accessible, and jargon-free. The scholarship is sound and deep, but the manner of the telling is light, intelligent, quickly flowing, and unponderous."--Thomas R. Trautmann, University of Michigan
"This is imaginative and innovative scholarship that jumps over the walls between religious studies, art history, and cultural criticism. The case studies of images are wide-ranging, from temple lootings in medieval wars and representations of Indo-Muslim iconoclasm, to colonial recodings, modern commodifications, and revisions on the part of contemporary India's religious right. Davis walks the reader through great historical periods pointing out everywhere the situated practices by which the meanings of images are constantly being remade."--Sheldon Pollock, University of Chicago
