Reviews

A classic in the anthropological study of pilgrimage.
--Jill Dubisch, author of In a Different Place This stimulating volume . . offers an innovative anthropological framework for this central religious institution .... A short review cannot do justice to the ethnographic richness of this volume .... [It] stands as an important contribution to the growing body of anthropological literature on Christianity and Catholicism.
