anthropology as well as book and article reviews.

of Buddhism in Sri Lanka’s identity making. The concept of identity is also
addressed by Gennie Thi Nguyen. In her paper, Vietnamese foodways is the unit of
analysis, as it functions to maintain and transform cultural identity. M. Lynne Thompson
examines if the religion Psychiana exhibits the primary components of a revitalization
movement as defined by Anthony F. C. Wallace. The Katsina Cult, as explained
by Ashley Atkins is not only understood in the religious sphere, but it should also be
