Summary	"Despite the lack of official sanction by the Catholic Church, folk saints have attracted huge national cults with thousands, perhaps even millions, of devotees. Cultures of Devotion is the first overview in any language of this important but little-studied aspect of the dynamic culture of contemporary Spanish America." "Frank Graziano provides an inside view of the beliefs, rituals, and devotions surrounding six representative folk saints from Argentina, Mexico, and Peru."--Jacket.
