Frank Graziano

Historic Churches of New Mexico Today

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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 iswritten 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 amongthem.
