Description: "Latin America is experiencing a genuine pluralization of faith. This interdisciplinary volume tracks those changes, from the perspective of such diverse fields as sociology, anthropology, religious studies, political science, and Latin American studies. The contributors tackle such issues as creolization, esoterica, and Afro-Brazilian religion in a highly accessible way. Latin American Religion in Motion provides not only a clear sense of the extent of the transformations now under way, but also provides insight into some of the most pressing issues surrounding these momentous changes."--Back cover.
