Rezensionen

"An excellent portrait of a mode of Christianity as minoritization and flight from state attempts to fix identity, ethnicity, and culture.This book is well worth attending to even for those working outside of either Christianity or Southeast Asia as a region." - Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

'The task Liana Chua sets herself in this carefully argued and ethnographically rich study is that of giving and account of Benuk religion and culture that does justice to all of these aspects (and more) of the life of the village . . . Full of careful arguments, and open-ended in its commitment to honoring the complexity of the world, it is a book anthropologists interested in any topic it covers will find they can read with great profit.' - Anthropology News
