In\u003ci\u003e Devotion in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e, Edward Wright-R?os argues that we misunderstand pilgrimage (past and present) if we ignore its dynamic relationship with the rhythms of daily life and community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through the story of a centuries-old, ever-changing Catholic shrine to Our Lady of Juquila in Oaxaca, Mexico, Wright-R?os reveals how tradition, innovation, marketing, and devotion coexist and interact in pilgrimage. Devotees, he shows, are not dissuaded by the embeddedness of the sacred site in the complexities, hierarchies, or conflicts of their lives. In fact, the truckers, accountants, and health-care workers we meet in this book actively seek new resources (including social media) to aid and share their devotion. Part microhistory, part ethnography, \u003ci\u003eDevotion in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e is a celebration of pilgrimage as a living experience in every generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Wright-R?os\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226840832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226840833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Edward Wright-R?os","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526438506751,"sku":"9780226840833","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74c6b178-1d59-49f9-9453-6eb4c5977349.jpg?v=1737556185","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/devotion-in-motion-edward-wright-ros-9780226840833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
