Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index
American Heathens is the first in-depth ethnographic study about the largely misunderstood
practice of American Heathenry (Germanic Paganism). Jennifer Snook - who has been
Pagan since her early teens and a Heathen since eighteen - traces the development
and trajectory of Heathenry as a new religious movement in America, one in which all
identities are political and all politics matter. Snook explores the complexities
of pagan reconstruction in today's divisive political climate. She considers the impact
of social media on Heathen collectivities, and offers a glimpse of the world in Heathen
meanings, rituals, and philosophy. In American Heathens, Snook presents the stories
and perspectives of modern practitioners in engaging detail. She treats Heathens as
members of a religious movement, rather than simply a subculture reenacting myths
and stories of enchantment. Her book shrewdly addresses how people construct ethnicity
in a reconstructionist (historically-minded) faith system with no central authority.
