Claiming Sacred Ground: Pilgrims and Politics at Glastonbury and Sedona

New Age Space, Christian Time What do Glastonbury, England, and Sedona, Ariz., have in common? Both are centers of the New Age universe meaning that both are considered ""power places"" where the spiritual energies of the earth are felt most strongly. In Claiming Sacred Ground: Pilgrims and Politics at Glastonbury and Sedona, Adrian Ivakhiv explores these centers of New Age tourism, drawing connections between the two sites and placing them in the larger context of the New Age movement. Although the book is a bit overtheorized and jargon-laden (""metanarrative"" and ""heterotopia"" crop up particularly often), Ivakhiv makes some memorable points, especially about the depoliticization and privatization of New Age ideas since the 1960s.
