<p> <em>“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.”</em> <strong>• Anna Niedźwiedź</strong>, Jagiellonian University, Kraków</p> <p> <em>“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.”</em> <strong>• Jackie Feldman</strong>, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev</p>
