A Penitente Bibliography is the definitive reference work on the Brotherhood in Hispanic northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Based on research begun in the late 1960s, it is the companion supplement to Marta Weigle's revised 1971 dissertation, Brothers of Light, Brothers of Blood: The Penitentes of the Southwest. The 1233 annotated entries were assembled over five years through August 1975. They are divided into five sections entitled Documents; General and Comparative References; Books and Other Published Materials; Anonymous Newspaper Items; and Dissertations, Theses, Student Papers, and Unpublished Manuscripts. This compilation remains an important resource for anyone working in Southwest studies, religion, or folklore. |
