A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'This is the first book to offer a remarkably comprehensive and differentiated picture of the neo-pagan movements in Central and Eastern Europe. It does not limit itself to a country by country analysis, but encourages a reflection on Native Faith's roots in Romanticism and nationalism, and their interaction in a globalized world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in this important but much neglected topic.' --Marlene Laruelle, George Washington University

'Not only does this diversified work present a detailed and historical journey through previously unexplored territory for the West, it also provides an advantageously useful reference resource concerning twelve Central-Eastern European peoples.' --Michael York, Bath Spa University

'A fascinating set of studies of (neo)pagan and other local religious-cultural movements ... a tantalizing volume.' --Anthropology Review Database

'An absolute must-read for all serious scholars of Pagan studies, and a very useful guide for undergraduates or other students taking their first tentative steps into this ever expanding field ... It would not be an exaggeration to state that this is the most important book published within Pagan studies in the last five years ... Highly recommended.' --Alternative Spirituality and Religion Review

'A fascinating set of studies of (neo)pagan and other local religious-cultural movements ... a tantalizing volume.' --Anthropology Review Database

'The book covers a fascinating religious phenomenon that is little known in the English speaking world. Recommended.' --Choice

'A fascinating set of studies of (neo)pagan and other local religious-cultural movements ... a tantalizing volume.' --Anthropology Review Database

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The resurgence of religiosity in post-communist Europe has been widely noted, but the full spectrum of religious practice in the diverse countries of Central and Eastern Europe has been effectively hidden behind the region's range of languages and cultures. This volume presents an overview of one of the most notable developments in the region, the rise of Pagan and "Native Faith" movements. Modern Pagan and Native Faith Movements in Central and Eastern Europe brings together scholars from across the region to present both systematic country overviews - of Armenia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, and Ukraine - as well as essays exploring specific themes such as racism and the internet. The volume will be of interest to scholars of new religious movements especially those looking for a more comprehensive picture of contemporary paganism beyond the English-speaking world.
