Beginning with a Cuban Catholic ritual in Miami, this book takes readerson a momentous theoretical journey toward a new understanding ofreligion. At this historical moment, when movement across boundaries isof critical importance for all areas of human life - from media andentertainment to economy and politics - Thomas Tweed offers a powerfulvision of religion in motion, dynamic, alive with crossings and flows. Adeeply researched, broadly gauged, and vividly written study of religionsuch as few American scholars have ever attempted, Crossing andDwelling depicts religion in place and in movement, dwelling andcrossing. Tweed considers how religion situates devotees in time andspace, positioning them in the body, the home, the homeland and thecosmos.
