Translated from the Spanish.
This book is at the crossroads where a New Age sensibility, advancing like an ecumen
of worldwide spirituality without national, cultural, or ecclesiastical frontiers,
meets Latin America's syncretic religions, practiced by groups of people with African
or indigenous roots or developed from the tradition of popular Catholicism. The Syncretic
character of the two sensibilities makes both the New Age and popular religion behave
like two, syncretizing and syncreticizable matrices of meaning. This book opens up
a rich vein of debate with new dilemmas and discussions, that will provide a framework
for a new field of study in anthropology. What new ways of signifying living and experiencing
religion is the New Age generating in Latin America? What are its limits? (Publisher)
