Elastic (Post)Secularism, written by Anna Krasteva (Sofia, Bulgaria: Foundation Media Democracy, 2014) electronic publication.Anna Krasteva is a political scientist and Professor at the New Bulgarian University, Sofia. Her main fields of study are immigration and refugees, ethnicity and citizenship, as well as political discourse. This publication is based upon an empirical study which was carried out by her and a team of PhD students as part of a large research project, “Religion and the Public Sphere. Interdisciplinary Approaches”, funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Bulgaria.The book provides an insightful analysis of an extremely complicated and puzzling phenomenon – the return of the public role of religion in postcommunist Bulgaria. Certain obvious traits of this development demonstrate that it is quite different from the postsecularization processes in West-European and North American countries. That is why original research is needed in order to explain and better understand the events of this sort that are taking place in Bulgaria and in other postcommunist societies, as well as to draw conclusions about possible policies which would help the advancement of democracy in them.
