[I]T Is Extremely Salubrious To See The Ways Islam Works In The Lives Of Ordinary People Who Are Not Politicized In Their Religious Lives. . . . No Other Book On South Asia Has Material Like This.' Ann Grodzins Goldin Amma'S Healing Room Is A Compelling Study Of The Life And Thought Of A Female Muslim Spiritual Healer In Hyderabad, South India. Joyce Burkhalter Flueckiger Describes Amma'S Practice As A Form Of Vernacular Islam Arising In A Particular Locality, One In Which The Boundaries Between Islam, Hinduism, And Christianity Are Fluid. In The 'Healing Room,' Amma Meets A Diverse Clientele That Includes Men And Women, Muslim, Hindu, And Christian, Of Varied Social Backgrounds, Who Bring A Wide Range Of Physical, Social, And Psychological Afflictions. Flueckiger Collaborated Closely With Amma And Relates To Her At Different Moments As Daughter, Disciple, And Researcher. The Result Is A Work Of Insight And Compassion That Challenges Widely Held Views Of Religion And Gender In India And Reveals The Creativity Of A Tradition Often Portrayed By Muslims And Nonmuslims Alike As Singular And Monolithic.
