Recenzii
...American Cosmic is well worth the attention of scholars interested in how the religious is both created and functions in the contemporary world.
This book deserves to be given attention by those in the religious studies field whose familiarity with UFO Religions is confined to historical cases or more modern personality-driven organizations.
refreshingly engaging
The book as a whole is a highly sensitive, and erudite.
D.W. Pasulka's American Cosmic has all the trappings of a sober ethnographic study of unidentified flying objects. Its organizing thesis holds that belief in the existence of shapeshifting extraterrestrial visitors can be understood as an emergent religion, offering communion with a higher power, reassurance of universal interconnectedness, and a simplifying explanation for a chaotic world.
