Christian Orthodox Migrants in Western Europe
Secularization and Modernity through the Lens of the Gift Paradigm
Samenvatting
An authoratitive study of Orthodox Christianity's recent encounter with the West, modernity and secularization in the process of post-communist migrations from Eastern Europe.
The volume's socio-anthropological qualitative research reveals the complicated identity redefinition and re-compositions of a religious group that highly values continuity, tradition, and ethnic/national belonging.
This book is important for scholars of Orthodox Christianity and religion and migration, as well as those in disciplines such as sociology, anthropology of religion, political science, migration studies and cultural studies.
