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.
Presenting detailed ethnographies from Mexico, Peru, Brazil,
Canada, and the United States and drawing on a wide range of
approaches - from Theater, Comparative Literature, Sociology,
Anthropology, History, English, and Performance Studies -
Performing Religion in the Americas reveals the breadth of
faith-based cultural practice in the 21st Century.
