Drawing on ethnographic cases, contributors explore the interplay of neo-nationalistic and neo-colonialist impulses in contemporary Paganism, showing how these impulses play out, intersect, collide, and transform List of Figures -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction: Context is Everything: Plurality and Paradox in Contemporary European Paganisms -- Kathryn Rountree -- Chapter 1.
