Reviews

A Sacred Vertigo is an engaging ethnography that provides vivid portraits of the shrine of Rocamadour and the social interactions that surround it. Weibel's reflexivity is refreshing, and her concept of religious creatives makes an important contribution to debates about the meanings of secular and sacred travel. Essential reading for those interested in pilgrimage, tourism, popular Catholicism, alternative spiritualities and France. -- Ellen Badone, McMaster University
