Description

American Heathens: A New Religious Movement in America Jennifer Snook explores the development and trajectory of American Heathenry, a practice that challenges traditional notions of identity and politics. As a practitioner herself, Snook delves into the complexities of pagan reconstruction, racial, ethnic, and gender identity in today's divisive climate. Through engaging stories and perspectives from modern practitioners, Snook sheds light on the world of Heathen meanings, rituals, and philosophy. She examines how people construct ethnicity within a historically-minded faith system with no central authority, offering a nuanced understanding of this often-misunderstood practice.
