      Occasions of Faith: An Anthropology of Irish Catholics
Lawrence J. J. Taylor

ABOUT THE BOOK

This is a study of Irish Catholics in "Teelin, a village community in Donegal situated on Ireland's northwest coast. A major objective of Taylor's study is to understand how external structural and institutional forces interact with the lived experiences of the local people. Religion is thus of special interest, analytically and ethnographically, because it is both institution and lived experience." (Contemp Sociol) Index.

ABOUT THE BOOK
