About this book
Reviews
“This book offers extremely interesting insight into the religiosity of the marginalized part of Slovak society—Roma. Beside the fact that there are only few analyses of (Eastern European) Roma religion, the very contextualization makes the work interesting. I am convinced that each aspect, the little-studied topic and the broader social context, offers an original contribution to religious and area-related studies.”
(Zdeněk R. Nešpor, Professor, Department of European Cultural and Intellectual History, Charles University, Czec Republic)
“Tatiana Zachar Podolinská honestly drafts two possible scenarios for (potential) Romani emancipation in Slovakia: a Catholic one, under the flag of an ethnicized and enculturated Chocolate Mary, and a Pentecostal one, peripheralizing both Mary as well as the Roma vernaculous tradition and culture. On every page of the book, the reader is provided both with the broader context as well as the deeply engaged ethnographic insight. The book represents a unique contribution to both Romani Studies and Studies on Marian devotion.“
(Elena Marushiakova, Professor of History, University of St Andrews, Scotland)
