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. Startlingly original, Browns work endures as an important experiment in ethnography as a social art form rooted in human relationships. A new preface, epilogue, bibliography, and a collection of family photographs tell the story of the effect of the books publication on Mama Lolas life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525198643488,"sku":"NEW0520224752","price":43.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91vHHXPSpuL_a046ba0a-f971-452b-b8fa-3d3f55c59448.jpg?v=1777143653","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mama-lola-a-vodou-priestess-in-brooklyn-updated-and-expanded-edition-comparative-studies-in-religion-and-society-0520224752","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
