She explores the importance of womens religious practices along with related themes of family and of social change. Weaving several of her own voices--analytic, descriptive, and personal--with the voices of her subjects in alternate chapters of traditional ethnography and ethnographic fiction, Brown presents herself as a character in Mama Lolas world and allows the reader to evaluate her interactions there. Startlingly original, Browns work endures as an important experiment in ethnography as a social art form rooted in human relationships. A new preface, epilogue, bibliography, and a collection of family photographs tell the story of the effect of the books publication on Mama Lolas life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680113664240,"sku":"sku-51303155368224","price":44.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/mama-lola-a-vodou-priestess-in-brooklyn-updated-and-expande","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
