Hunted: Predation and Pentecostalism in Guatemala by Kevin Lewis O'Neill (Englis

Description: Hunted by Kevin Lewis O'Neill Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "Hunted is an ethnography of Pentecostal drug rehabilitation centers in Guatemala City and their practice of bringing (oftentimes dragging) users to Christ."--Introductory note. Publisher Description "Its not a process," one pastor insisted, "rehabilitation is a miracle." In the face of addiction and few state resources, Pentecostal pastors in Guatemala City are fighting what they understand to be a major crisis. Yet the treatment centers they operate produce this miracle of rehabilitation through extraordinary means: captivity. These men of faith snatch drug users off the streets, often at the request of family members, and then lock them up inside their centers for months, sometimes years.Hunted is based on more than ten years of fieldwork among these centers and the drug users that populate them. Over time, as Kevin Lewis ONeill engaged both those in treatment and those who surveilled them, he grew increasingly concerned that he, too, had become a hunter, albeit one snatching up information. This thoughtful, intense book will reframe the arc of redemption we so often associate with drug rehabilitation, painting instead a seemingly endless cycle of hunt, capture, and release. Author Biography Kevin Lewis ONeill is professor in the Department for the Study of Religion and director of the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of Toronto.
