Book Summary
Religious practice and belief remain astoundingly diverse across North and South
America. At a time when globalization is taken to mean the ever greater
homogenization of cultures, Performing Religion in the Americas reveals how
individual cultures are more resilient than ever and that religion is a
particularly rich area of diversity. Religion is an especially rich arena for
the analysis of political and cultural performance because the complexity of
devotional practice and the intensity of faith can permeate all other parts of
social life. The performance of religion highlights how communities and
individuals in the Americas define themselves as both similar to and different
from others.
