Synopsis:

This book is designed to interrogate theories in the anthropology of religion through a consideration of the ritual practices and belief systems of the Andean community of Rapaz. The book demonstrates how detailed ethnographic research of a specific religious tradition can illuminate multiple, competing and complementary approaches to the anthropology of religion. Salomon's style allows for an appraisal of classical approaches in the anthropology of religion whilst simultaneously providing an effective means to critically evaluate the more recent ontological turn. Interjecting different theoretical paradigms to make sense of ethnographic particulars, Salomon delivers theories of religion from the realm of abstraction and provides students with a much richer understanding of alternate religious experiences. This book is essential reading for students taking courses on the anthropology of religion, Andean Archaeology, Latin American ethnography, introduction to the study of religion, and indigenous peoples of the Americas.
