Pilgrimage, Politics and Place-Making in Eastern Europe cover

Since the beginning of the anthropology of pilgrimage, scant attention has been paid to pilgrimage and pilgrim places in central, eastern and south-eastern Europe. Seeking to address such a deficit, this book brings together scholars from central, eastern and south-eastern Europe to explore the crossing of borders in terms of the relationship between pilgrimage and politics, and the role which this plays in the process of both sacred and secular place-making. With contributions from a range of established and new academics, including anthropologists, historians and ethnologists, Pilgrimage, Politics and Place-Making in Eastern Europe presents a fascinating collection of case studies and discussions of religious, political and secular pilgrimage across the region.

’This volume provides fresh insights into the relation between religion, identity and place in Eastern Europe. It challenges stereotypes about society, religion and politics by bringing together seminal ethnographic studies on a wide range of pilgrimage practices that can be observed today.’ Maria Couroucli, Comité national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), France
