"Material deprivation and social dislocation remain defining features of post-Soviet societies. This volume adds much-needed depth to previous analyses of coping strategies and networks of support by exploring the moral dimension of individual subjective experience...[and] makes an original and important contribution to our understanding of post-socialist and postcolonial societies and speaks to the renewed interest in religion within the discipline." ? JRAI"... an unusually strong edited collection that will have an important impact on Post-Soviet studies but that will also find a high profile place for itself in the developing field of the anthropological study of Christianity ... the first collection to focus on the spread of Protestantism, and particularly its Pentecostal and charismatic forms, in the Post-Soviet world." ? Joel Robbins, University of California, San Diego
"This book is an excellent, well written contribution to the study of religious change and spiritual encounters in post-communist Eurasia. It offers a persuasive analysis of conversion rooted in the disruptive qualities of the new post-Soviet era. It also attempts to relate the phenomena to broader theoretical debates on the quest for modernity...[It] should be essential for students of conversion and religious change in post-communist settings. Although it is targeted at informed academic audiences, the book could also prove to be interesting reading for curious wider audiences with an intellectual interest in various facets of the transformation processes across the former Soviet Union and the wider post-communist space." ? Europe-Asia Studies

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
