Nuevo libro: Redefining Pilgrimage. New Perspectives on Historical and Contemporary Pilgrimages

Acaba de ser publicado el libro Redefining Pilgrimage. New Perspectives on Historical and Contemporary Pilgrimages, editado por Antón M. Pazos, dentro de la colección Compostela International Studies in Pilgrimage History and Culture que dirige en la editorial británica Ashgate. Con este son ya tres los publicados recientemente, con otros dos prensa para el próximo año, todos relacionados con las investigaciones y coloquios que organiza el IEGPS sobre peregrinaciones.

'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
