Exploring what does and what does not constitute pilgrimage, Redefining Pilgrimage draws together a wide variety of disciplines including politics, anthropology, history, religion and sociology. Leading contributors offer a broad range of case studies from a wide geographical area, exploring new ways of approaching pilgrimage beyond the classical religious model. Re-thinking the global phenomenon of pilgrimages in the 21st century, this book offers new perspectives to redefine pilgrimage.

AntÃ³n M. Pazos is Vice Director of the Instituto de Estudios Gallegos Padre Sarmiento (Spanish National Research Council, CSIC) in Santiago de Compostela and President of the Commission Internationale d'Histoire et d'Ã‰tudes du Christianisme (CIHEC).
