Everyday Religiosity and the Politics of Belonging in Ukraine
reveals how and why religion has become a pivotal political force
in a society struggling to overcome the legacy of its entangled
past with Russia and chart a new future. If Ukraine is "ground
zero" in the tensions between Russia and the West, religion is an
arena where the consequences of conflicts between Russia and
Ukraine keenly play out. Vibrant forms of everyday religiosity pave
the way for religion to be weaponized and securitized to advance
political agendas in Ukraine and beyond. These practices, Catherine
Wanner argues, enable religiosity to be increasingly present in
public spaces, public institutions, and wartime politics in a
pluralist society that claims to be secular. Based on ethnographic
data and interviews conducted since before the Revolution of
Dignity and the outbreak of armed combat in 2014, Wanner
investigates the conditions that catapulted religiosity, religious
institutions, and religious leaders to the forefront of politics
and geopolitics.
