The authors explore how and why the new religion was formed, and why it was so successful. Comparing this case with other peasant movements, they show ways in which folk religion serves as a response to particular problems which arise in peasant societies during times of stress.Routledge studies in development and society.CultsDominican RepublicHistory20th centuryReligion and sociologyDominican RepublicHistory20th centuryCultsDominican RepublicPalma Sola (San Juan)History20th centuryReligion and sociologyDominican RepublicPalma Sola (San Juan)History20th centuryDominican RepublicReligion20th centuryPalma Sola (San Juan, Dominican Republic)Religion20th centuryOlivorismoCultsHistoryReligion and sociologyHistoryCultsHistoryReligion and sociologyHistory306.6/097293Lundius Jan1954-1518592Lundahl Mats1946-129849MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783976603321Peasants and religion3756213UNINA
