Description

Author: Reichard, Gladys  (1893-1955)

Publisher: Princeton University Press

Pub Date: 1974 (First paperback printing)

Binding: Paperback

Condition:   Fair.  Binding tight, but it appears to have been reglued at some point.  Covers scuffed.  Front cover has crease at top corner and bottom edge at spine.  Rear cover has creases at both top and bottom corners.  Edge wear.   Strangely, the text block appears unused.  No marks.

Notes: First paperback reprint of the 1950 edition.  I also have a later printing of this title.  See https://joethebookguy.com/shop/indian/navaho-religion-a-study-of-symbolism/ .  The Navajo religion is a loose collection of ceremonies and rituals, bound together by individual “singers” (“chanters”), who may know a few ceremonies but probably not all.  There is no pope, no imam, no ayatollah, no Buddha.  This ain’t your “Sunday go to meeting”, it’s religion when you need it, when you want it.
