Religion and magic have often played important roles in Baltic,
Eastern European, and post-Soviet societies like those in Russia,
Romania, Serbia, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, and Estonia. Taken together,
the studies presented in this collection suggest that the idea that
religion and magic are connected to each other in some consistent,
universal way may be nothing more than a remnant from
nineteenth-century anthropology. Further, these studies challenge
another part of anthropology's historical legacy: the idea that
magic is something that modernity and modernization will transcend.
Rather, these studies suggest instead that magic is a form of work
that brings modernity into being and helps render it intelligible
to those who find themselves engaged in its creation. This volume
brings together historical (pre- and post-1989), ethnographic, and
area studies that look at the divergent roles of state, culture,
society, tradition, and the individual in enactments of magic and
religion. Assessing the role magic and religion have played in the
countries of Eastern Europe and beyond before and after the Cold
War, it is an absorbing read for scholars of anthropology and
history as well as ethnology.
