Our Lady of the Exile: Diasporic Religion at a Cuban Catholic Shrine in Miami - Religion in America
Tweed, Thomas A. (Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of North Carolina)
This is a study of Cuban-American popular Catholicism, focusing on the shrine of Our Lady of Charity in Miami, which is the sacred centre of the Cuban community in exile. Tweed uses historical and ethnographic methods to discover why the shrine attained so much importance and attracts so many visitors, and what it can tell us about larger issues of religion, identity, and place.
