Abstract

Unequal Partners is a beautifully told ethnography of religious life within the transnational order Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Clevenger artfully weaves together the words and experiences of Catholic sisters living out a shared mission and identity within vastly divergent historical, economic, and cultural contexts. The story that emerges is one of both enduring tensions and heartening mutuality. As the first ethnographic study of a transnational religious women’s organization, Unequal Partners makes an important contribution to sociological and transnational scholarship, pertinent to both globalized religion and cross-border collectives more generally.
