Children of the New Age: A History of Spiritual Practices de Steven Sutcliffe

Children of the New Age: A History of Spiritual Practices

Autor Steven Sutcliffe
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2002
The first true social history of the phenomenon known as New Age culture, Children of the New Age presents an overview of the diverse varieties of New Age belief and practice from the 1930s to the present day. Drawing on original ethnographic research and rarely seen archival material, it calls into question the assumption that the New Age is a discrete and unified 'movement', and reveals the unities and fractures evident in contemporary New Age practice.
