Descrizione Sainthood and Race
This book explores the complicated relationship between sainthood and race by examining two distinct characteristics of the saint's body: the historicized, marked flesh and the universal, holy flesh. The essays in this volume comment on this tension between particularity and universality by combining both theoretical and ethnographic studies of saints and race across a wide range of subjects within the humanities.
