[Entangled interactions between religion and national consciousness in Central and Eastern Europe]

ENThe Japanese researcher Yoko Aoshima has compiled a book dedicated to the complex issue of the formation of these ‘small’ Central and East European nations. It was a great achievement on her behalf to form an international team of researchers: of the 11 authors, five are from Japan, one is from the United States, one is from Ukraine, one is from Belarus, and three are from Lithuania. As we can see, the geography of research on the history of Central and Eastern Europe has certainly expanded. The basis of the book is papers presented at the 9th World Congress of the International Council for Central and East European Studies (ICCEES) held in Makuhari (Japan) on 9 August 2015, and the international symposium ‘Entangled Interactions between Religion and National Identities in the Space of the Former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth’, which was held at the Lithuanian Institute of History on 22–23 August 2016.
