"The book is an insightful and sensitive account of the psychological life-world of caste. Its principal strength is the way in which Parrish celebrates the multiplicities and ambiguities of experience of everyday life in caste society. His account strikes a responsive chord. . . . It makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of caste in Nepal as well as to expanding ethnography beyond monolithic truths."-Social Anthropology
