Globalizing the Sacred: Religion Across the Americas
Editorial Reviews
Timothy Matovina, director, Cushwa Center for the Study of American Catholicism, University of Notre Dame
A magnificent exploration of the multiple ways local religion shapes and is shaped by its institutional, regional, and global contexts
Book Description
Drawing on case studies in the United States and Latin America, Manuel A. Vásquez and Marie Friedmann Marquardt explore the evolving roles of religion in the Americas in the face of globalization, transnational migration, the rapid growth of culture industries, the rise of computer mediated technologies, and the crisis of modernity. Combining ethnographic research in local congregations, studies of material culture and sacred space, textual analyses, and approaches to mass and electronic media, the authors challenge dominant paradigms in sociology of religion.
