Reframing Pilgrimage argues that sacred travel is just one of the twenty-first century's many forms of cultural mobility.

This voluntary displacement helps to constitute cultural meaning in a world constantly 'en route'. Pilgrimage, which works both on global economic and individual levels, is recognised as a highly creative and politically charged force intimately bound up in economic and cultural systems
