MORAL COMMODITIES AND THE PRACTICE OF FREEDOM.
This essay explores an increasingly popular genre of organized group travel in white mainline and emerging evangelical US Christianity I call "journeys to the margins": trips centered on learning from marginalized persons for the traveler's ethical formation.

Drawing on ethnographic research with one case study, "Come and See Tours" to Israel/Palestine, I interrogate how the commodified form of these trips shape possibilities for ethical subjectivation. First, I demonstrate ways in which journeys to the margins market ethical transformation to American Christian consumers in the form of packaged moral narratives. Second, I focus on the paradoxical nature of journeys to the margins as simultaneously packaged commodities and ethical encounters. Finally, I use reformulations of freedom emerging from the anthropology of ethics to argue that possibilities for ethical subjectivation occur in moments when tour ideals come into tension with lived realities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Religious Ethics is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
