Pilgrimage and Political Economy
Translating the Sacred
Synopsis
Pilgrimage has always had a tendency to follow-and sometimes create-trade routes. This volume explores how wider factors behind transnational and global mobility have impacted on pilgrimage activity across the world, and examines the ways in which pilgrimage relates to migration, diaspora, and political cooperation or conflict across nation-states. Furthermore, it brings together case studies that explore forms of mobility where pilgrimage is juxtaposed, complements, or is in intimate association with other forms of movement.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"This volume is an important new step within the field of pilgrimage studies, challenging Eurocentric (and Protestant-oriented) concepts of 'pilgrimage', 'religion', and the 'sacred' within the field of social sciences." * Anna Niedzwiedz, Jagiellonian University, Krakow
"The book is a welcome addition to the anthropology of pilgrimage, and makes a good case for what the study of pilgrimage and its contexts can contribute to an understanding of broader social processes in the contemporary world. It covers a wide range of locales and religions, and, while focused on contemporary ethnography, also includes historical and philological reflections." * Jackie Feldman, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
