This fortunately changed in the 1980s when a newly energized group of younger scholars, who were interested in a variety of new approaches that went beyond the textual interface, returned to folklore as an untapped resource in South Asian Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive volume further reinvigorates the field by providing fresh studies and new models both for studying the \"lore\" and the \"life\" of everyday people in the region, as well as their engagement with the world at large. By bringing Muslims, material culture, diasporic horizons, global interventions and politics to bear on South Asian folklore studies, the authors hope to stimulate more dialogue across theoretical and geographical borders to infuse the study of the Indian Subcontinent's cultural traditions with a new sense of relevance that will be of interest not only to areal specialists but also to folklorists and anthropologists in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eSouth Asian History and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrank J.
