World Religions

“Ammon's work speaks to long-standing preoccupations and practices within the study of religions: origins and comparisons. In bringing to our attention a comparative engagement with religions that stretches from the fifteenth-century 'discovery' of New World religions to the nineteenth-century emergence of anthropology, she presents a crucial phase of the field's history and adds an important work--one full of keen insights--to its historiography.”
