B rett H endrickson . The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó
In The Healing Power of the Santuario de Chimayó: America’s Miraculous Church, Brett Hendrickson announces early on that the thematic framing device for this marvelous new book is “ownership.” That is ownership of the space of Chimayo, New Mexico, and its surrounding environs, ownership of the symbols and mythologies that it produces and that surround it, and ownership of the actual building, the Santuario, itself (13). I was skeptical. Typical, …
