Focusing on the methodologies of twentieth-century anthropologists, the book explores the documentation of the religions practiced by independent peoples living outside the influence of the global economy and mainstream world religions. It highlights the unique cultural contexts and belief systems of these communities, offering insights into their spiritual practices and the challenges faced by researchers in accessing and understanding these often-overlooked traditions.
