Beskrivning
This interpretive guide combines history and ethnography to represent living traditions at the adobe and stone churches of New Mexico. Each chapter treats a particular church or group of churches and includes photographs, practical information for visitors, and context pertinent to current understanding. Frank Graziano provides unprecedented coverage of the churches by combining his extensive fieldwork with research in archives and previous scholarship. The book is written in an engaging narrative prose that brings the reader inside of congregations in Indian and Hispanic villages. The focus is less on church buildings than on people in relation to churches -- parishioners, caretakers, priests, restorers -- and on the author's experiences researching among them.

Recensioner i media

Frank Graziano's moving prose elegy laments the seemingly inexorable decline of so many of New Mexico's historic churches. Rather than suggesting rosy alternatives, this penetrating study interrogates potential optimistic and pessimistic outcomes for these sacred spaces. This is also a deeply personal and revealing examination of practicing Catholics and clergy in the Hispanic and Native communities where these churches are located.
