“The meta-theory of piety: reflections on the work of Saba Mahmood” By Julius Bautista http://www.springerlink.com/content/jt3px16t77748641/?p=1d850479c9f54cf09ff25c066fda2d29&pi=5
"For two years (1995-97) I conducted fieldwork with a movement in which women from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds provided scriptures, social practices, and forms of bodily comportment considered germane to the cultivation of the ideal virtuous self.
