Synopsis

The study of indigenous religions has become an important academic field, particularly since the religious practices of indigenous peoples are being transformed by forces of globalization and transcontinental migration. This book will further our understanding of indigenous religions by considering key methodological issues related to defining and contextualizing the religious practices of indigenous societies, both historically and in socio-cultural situations.
