Power and Religiosity in a Post-Colonial Setting: Sinhala Catholics in Contemporary Sri Lanka - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Stirrat, R. L. (University of Sussex)
This study of religious change and cultural fragmentation in contemporary Sri Lanka focuses on a series of new Catholic shrines that attract hundreds of pilgrims. Their fame is based, among other things, on their efficacy as centres for demonic exorcism, alleviating suffering, and helping people to find jobs.
