Summary: 
"Richard G. Fox, Professor of Anthropology at Duke University, has written an impressively researched study of Gandhi as a cultural innovator, bringing to bear on a well-thorn theme the special perspectives of his own discipline. The Utopian dream referred to in the title is that of a 'spiritual and humane india' (p.5). Fox sees in Gandhi a social experimenter resisting the culture of the colonialists and struggling to bring about an alternative one..." Chatterjee, Margaret. "Book Review."
