Reviews

As a skilled anthropologist, Almudéver Chanzà persuasively argues that, far from being marginal figures in the Catholic Church, women and gay men are the beating heart of Catholic public devotional life in a Valencian village. As a native son of that same village, he offers an intimate and insightful portrait of local interpersonal relationships and the forms of religious creativity and spiritual resilience they engender. * Dr. Eric Hoenes del Pinal, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA * This innovative and rich ethnography beautifully challenges any easy idea that the traditional can’t be contemporary as it focuses on the way Catholicism is made, mostly by women, in rural Spain. * Jill DeTemple, Southern Methodist University, USA *
