Review
REVIEWS "The volume as a whole is a veritable cornucopia of quotable quotes and useful methodological concepts, for which scholars and students of pilgrimage will remain grateful for many years to come." --Journeys, The International Journal of Travel and Travel Writing ADVANCE PRAISE "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." -- Ellen Badone, Man
