Reviews
'This book is essential reading for anybody interested in understanding contemporary pilgrimage. It takes us round the world with vivid and sometimes unexpected case-studies, but also rigorously tests established theories and categories. Above all, we learn of the vital significance of pilgrimage, in its conventional and unconventional forms.' Simon Coleman, University of Toronto, Canada
