Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"...provides a wealth of case studies and fresh perspectives on the spread of these contemporary spiritualities across the continent... an important and much-anticipated volume that helps us understand how contemporary Paganisms and Native Faith movements develop and spread across the globe in postmodernity. It will hopefully be followed by additional anthologies that will explore these new forms of religiosity from changing perspectives." * Reading Religion "Most importantly, perhaps, this volume contributes to the critical effort of sociologically contextualizing Western paganisms as products of glocalization- an interplay between the effects of globalization and local concerns...Students and scholars of the sociology or anthropology of religion and pagan studies will no doubt find this book a useful tool, as it is one of the first complete volumes to explore paganisms in Europe and the complexities and influences of global and local politics, culture, and social change on these emerging movements." * Anthropos "The reviewed book presents an outstanding effort in researching contemporary Paganism and Native Faith movements in Europe nowadays." * Pantheon Journal "All in all, this book is of undoubted value to scholars of contemporary Pagan studies, helping to reveal a wide array of previously unknown case studies. Other scholars of religious studies with a particular interest in nationality and national identity may also find much to intrigue them here." * Nova Religio "...the volume does a fine job of employing descriptive and ethnographic material to highlight the complex interworkings of the analytically-distinguishable but practically-interacting traditionalism and eclecticism." * Anthropology Review Database "Rountree's welcome and timely edited volume addresses topical, cutting-edge issues with regard to contemporary European Pagan and Native Faith movements. Focusing on the theoretical richness born out of the tensions found between 'the local' and 'the global,' past and present, the volume provides a refreshing approach to understanding these movements." * Amy Whitehead, University of Wales Trinity Saint David Read more...
