    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    With a vivid ethnographic lens on a Spanish village, Josep Almudï¿1⁄2ver Chanzï¿1⁄2 brings to life the resurgence of religion at the heart of European public life amid the global rise of neo-conservatism. This book reveals how faith, far from fading, is being reshaped, reclaimed, and reasserted as a powerful force in Europe's social, cultural, and political transformations.

    Through immersive fieldwork, including participant observation, oral histories, interviews, and archival digging, Almudï¿1⁄2ver Chanzï¿1⁄2 uncovers how villagers navigate and reinterpret religious rituals in everyday life. Faith emerges not as static tradition but as a living, contested space where the boundaries between secular and sacred, conservative and progressive, institutional and grassroots are constantly renegotiated

    From material religious practices to the shifting role of the Catholic Church, each chapter explores how new forms of faith-based identity are being crafted on the ground. Central to the narrative is the question of gender: how are historically excluded voices, especially sexual and gender minorities, reshaping religious life from within?

    Boldly interdisciplinary, Almudï¿1⁄2ver Chanzï¿1⁄2 draws on feminist theory, critical theology, and cultural politics to challenge dominant narratives and offer a timely, provocative account of religion's evolving role in Europe today. This is not just a study of belief-it's a story of power, resistance, and transformation.
