Contemporary Pagan and Native Faith Movements in Europe

Colonialist and Nationalist Impulses

Herausgeber: Rountree, Kathryn

Beschreibung

The first book to focus on modern Pagan and Native Faith movements throughout Europe, from the Irish Republic to Siberia, and from Scandinavia to Iberia. The first work of any kind to address the twin themes of neo-colonialism and neo-nationalism within these movements. Through detailed and intimate case studies based on ethnographic fieldwork, contributors disrupt a number of long-held assumptions in Pagan Studies, including the Eclectic-versus-Reconstructionist model. The volume showcases the diversity of contemporary Pagan and Native Faith movements throughout Europe and illustrates the significance of local socio-cultural, environmental, historical and political contexts in determining diverse expressions of this global religious movement.
