The book is based on long-term ethnographic research in the
Polish-Belarusian borderland. It examines the dynamics of symbolic
boundaries between the Catholic and Orthodox believers in their
everyday lives. By analyzing the space of local cemeteries,
rituals, and attitudes related to death, eating practices, and food
sharing, the author points to the changing sense of ethnic identity
and the feeling of familiarity and otherness. Confessionally mixed
neighborhoods and families enable different forms of religious
bivalency and become a crucial factor in bridging and crossing
ethnic boundaries. Socio-cultural norms and social relations shape
the ethnic identity of the borderland's residents more than the
institutional frames of both churches.
