"Vernacular Catholicism, Vernacular Saints: Selva J. Raj on "Being Catholic the Tamil Way" is promotional?

To prevent the edit warring with User:MrShortCircuit, it should be presented why I am adding Vernacular Catholicism, Vernacular Saints: Selva J. Raj on "Being Catholic the Tamil Way" as a source to the Uvari page's history section.

The book " Vernacular Catholicism, Vernacular Saints: Selva J. Raj on "Being Catholic the Tamil Way" " is not a promotional book.

The content is a collection of ethnographic studies in India, and was authored by Dr. Selva J. Raj, Late Chair and Stanley S. Kresge Professor of Religious Studies at Albion College. The editor is Reid B. Locklin, PhD, who teaches Christianity and the Intellectual Tradition at the University of Toronto.

The book is an academic publication which has been cited in other works (listed below), and is the best secondary source regarding the 17th century Uvari cholera legend. The book is the only publicly available publication that goes into detail behind the legend at all.

The website which provides the book's OCLC number is WorldCat, which is not a "promotional book link", but a union catalog for 17,900 libraries internationally.

In order to keep the content written on the Uvari page as correct, original, and non-plagiaristic, the book in question should be kept to help cite the legend, as it is the only non-tertiary source available.
