Opis

In this study, King explores how people first learn to relate to the images and artifacts of religious belief within their domestic environments. As a sense of religious belonging is instilled on a daily basis in the home it also becomes emotionally linked to family, community, and homeland, resulting in two different genealogies -- one to do with faith and one to do with motherland – that become entangled.
