Description
Summary:Analyzing the resistance to Christianity by the Anishinaabeg of the North American Great Lakes region in the 19th and 20th ceniuries, the author brings to light four ideal-typical Amerindian types of figures. These figures reveal four different strategies aimed at both the cognitive management of religious belonging and ideological positioning in relation to an Amerindian lifestyle. In doing so, the author sheds light on the limits of this model and the need to interpret it diachronically. This basically empirical synthesis reveals three different sorts of implementations of a religious bricolage in a context of symbolic mutations and profound identities.
