Conversion of a Continent: Contemporary Religious Change in Latin America
This welcome, well-edited volume transcends the usual focus on individuals who switch from Catholicism to Protestantism to consider conversions to other religions, like Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism, Afro-Brazilian cults, and indigenous religions. Highly recommended. --Choice--ChoiceThis edited volume offers a rich, multi-faceted, and balanced view of the evolving roles of religion in the emergence and political mobilization of indigenous identities. This book, especially helpful for its focus on conversion, is bound to have a significant impact on the study of religion in Latin America. --Anna L.
