Publication on Communicating Religion and Atheism in Central and Eastern Europe

Jenny Vorpahl and Dirk Schuster recently published a volume on Communicating Religion and Atheism in Central and Eastern Europe. The book seeks to detect characteristics of the legitimation processes and changes emerging in religion-related discourses operating in the Soviet socialist system before and after 1990. The book is part of the series Religion and Its Others, which investigates the multiple relations between religion, nonreligion and secularity. One of the series’ publishers is KFG fellow Johannes Quack.
