The Two Madonnas: The Politics of Festival in a Sardinian Community (American University Studies) - Softcover
This book has received first prize in the 1994 Chicago Folklore Prize which is awarded annually for major contributions to the study of folklore.
Festivals in Sardinia have long fascinated both native islanders and outsiders. This detailed ethnographic study examines two festivals in Sardinia which have adapted to the changing socio-economic scenario and have successfully entered the market economy, and contrasts their different adaptive strategies. It describes vividly and insightfully the continuing struggles of community members to shape and control these important expressions of local identity, and their compelling reasons for doing so.
