Описание: Karen McCarthy Browns Mama Lola challenges stereotypes of Vodou by offering an intimate portrait of African-based religion in everyday life. She explores the importance of womens religious practices along with related themes of family and of social change. Weaving several of her own voices - analytic, descriptive and personal - with the voices of her subjects in alternate chapters of traditional ethnography and ethnographic fiction, Brown presents herself as a character in Mama Lolas world and allows the reader to evaluate her interactions there. Browns work is an experiment in ethnography as a social art form rooted in human relationships. A new preface, epilogue, bibliography and a collectionfamily photographs tell the story of the effect of the books publication on Mama Lolas life.
