Mary, the devil, and taro : Catholicism and women's work in a Micronesian society

Author:	Juliana Flinn
Publisher:	Honolulu : University of Hawaii Press, ©2010.
Edition/Format:	eBook : Document : State or province government publication : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Catholicism, like most world religions, is patriarchal, and its official hierarchies and sacred works too often neglect the lived experiences of women. Looking beyond these texts, Juliana Flinn reveals how women practice, interpret, and shape their own Catholicism on Pollap Atoll, part of Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia. She focuses in particular on how the Pollapese shaping of Mary places value on indigenous notions of mothering that connote strength, active participation in food production, and the ability to provide for one's family." "Mary, the Devil, and Taro contributes significantly to the study of women's religion and the appropriation of Christianity in local contexts. It will be welcomed by not only anthropologists and other scholars concerned with religion in the Pacific, but also those who study change in gender roles and Marian devotions in cross-cultural perspectives."--Jacket  Read more...
