Steven W. Ramey is a Professor in Religious Studies at the University of Alabama, where he also directs the Asian Studies Program. His specialty is in contemporary issues surrounding identifications in India, which he addresses in his book Hindu, Sufi, or Sikh (Palgrave 2008), where he analyzes specifically the practices and contested definitions of communities identified as Sindhi Hindus. He has extended this analysis to reflect on issues in the academic and public discourse surrounding the category religion and issues of identifications in the United States and other contexts.

Culture on the Edge is devoted to studies – both monographs and collections of essays – that explore how social formation involves a series of strategies that present identity as static and uniform. Volumes in this series study identity formation as a series of interconnected historical practices, revealing ways that the image of stable selves and groups conceals the precarious and shifting nature of cultures.
