Alone Before God

The Religious Origins of Modernity in Mexico

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Voekel's engaging history of the debates surrounding burials and cemetaries in late colonial Mexico provides a fresh perspective on the origins of nationalist sentiments in Latin America. Her creative reading of wills and other archival materals will inspire historians and anthropologists to think in new ways about the role of religion in early liberal thought."--Deborah Poole, New School University
