CFP- Religious Revivalism in Post-Soviet Central Asia
Posted by: R. Charles Weller
Religious Revivalism in Post-Soviet Central Asia
Special Issue, Nova Religio: The Journal of Alternative and Emergent Religions
University of California Press
Nova Religio seeks essays on aspects of religious revivalism and new
religious movements in post-Soviet Central Asia. In the wake of new
found religious freedom following the collapse of the Soviet Union,
formerly suppressed religious traditions such as Islam and
Christianity have become the source and focus of renewal while select,
ancient native traditions have been revived. New religions as well as
new forms of the older, traditional religions have, likewise, been
imported by foreign missionaries or arisen via efforts of the locals
themselves. These include orthodox, folk, sufi, modernist and other
forms of Islam, Orthodox, Baptist, Pentecostal and other forms of
Slavic-Russian Christianity, newly forming Central Asian Christian
groups arising originally from Western Catholic and Protestant
missionary efforts, Tengrism, Burkhanism, shamanism, Zoroastrianism
and other forms of ancient native religious traditions, Buddhism in
especially its Mongolian and related Tibetan forms, devotion to
Krishna, and more.
All of these together not only struggle with their own internal
challenges to encourage their members as well as attract new ones, but
they do so in dynamic relation with one another amidst newly imported
and even imposed concepts of religious freedom supported by a global
human rights agenda operating within the framework of UN international
law, with Kazakhstan even serving as chair of the OSCE for 2010. The
post-911 world has, likewise, influenced the direction and intensity
of developments in each respective nation and across the region. The
struggle thus continues after nearly 20 years for each religious group
to maintain let alone achieve their respective goals of establishment,
renewal and expansion in balance with ideals of mutual harmony,
respect and open dialogue as each vies for its place amidst the
various, interwoven social, cultural, ethnic, linguistic, political
and economic realities surrounding and confronting them from all sides.
This special issue of Nova Religio invites papers which treat the
subject from various angles in context, especially studies of the
particular movements involved. Comparative and/or interdisciplinary
approaches along with attention to issues of gender are encouraged.
Along with Post-Soviet Central Asia, papers addressing similar or
related situations among the peoples of Azerbaijan, the Caucasus,
Siberia, Altai, Mongolia and NW China will also be considered.
Submission of an initial proposed title along with an abstract of
300-400 words is requested, though full-length draft papers prepared
in accordance with the guidelines below (and not published elsewhere)
are welcome.
Nova Religio has invited Dr. R. Charles Weller to serve as guest
editor of this special issue. He may be contacted directly at:
chawel@ara-cahcrc.com.
Proposed titles and abstracts should be sent at your earliest possible
convenience. Full paper submissions via email (see above) will be due

The preferred length of articles is around 8,000 words including
endnotes. The maximum length for a submitted paper can be 10,000 words
including endnotes.
Submission of photographs or other graphics is encouraged when they
can substantively enhance an article, and when permission to print can
