ABSTRACT The paper analyzes the activities of the Catholic Church in the regions of Montenegro inhabited by the population of ethnic Albanians, from 1945 to 1955. In the preparation of the paper, we have predominantly used relevant historical sources stored in the State Archives of Montenegro and relevant literature, which give various information about the subject of the Catholic Church. The aim of this paper is to point out that in the first decade of socialist rule in Montenegro, the Catholic Church was active among the Albanian population, not allowing the Communist Party to question its prestige in the area, and achieve significant influence among Albanians of the Catholic faith.

living conditions of and discrimination against Latinos, as well their concentration in “essential” jobs that led to heightened exposure to COVID-19. In response to this crisis, De la Torre proposes “ethics para joder” (181), which translates roughly to “ethic to screw,” advocating for active sabotage of “power structures” like the laws that reinforce the privilege of white Christianity. These additional perspectives and experiences enhance the book’s argument about white religion’s role in the suffering of minorities, and they highlight, along with the chapters on the Black Church, the capacity of religious minorities to offer solutions that serve to the challenge injustices. Ultimately, this book’s timely discussion of the role of religion over the last few tumultuous years extends a welcoming invitation to continue exploring the long-term effects of the pandemic and anti-Black violence on various aspects of religious and social life. The analyses in the book will assist all readers in understanding how different institutions like the Black Church have handled the pandemic, racial injustice, and public awakening. And, critically, the book cements an academic perspective on a crucial moment in time, capturing current thought on what is surely only a midpoint in long-term social transformations.
拉丁美洲人的生活条件和对他们的歧视，以及他们集中在“必要”工作岗位上，导致他们更容易感染COVID-19。为了应对这一危机，De la Torre提出了“道德para joder”(181)，大致翻译为“操劳的道德”，主张积极破坏“权力结构”，比如加强白人基督教特权的法律。这些额外的观点和经历加强了书中关于白人宗教在少数民族苦难中所扮演的角色的论点，它们与关于黑人教会的章节一起强调了宗教少数民族提供解决方案的能力，这些解决方案有助于挑战不公正。最后，这本书及时地讨论了宗教在过去动荡岁月中所扮演的角色，这为继续探索流行病和反黑人暴力对宗教和社会生活各个方面的长期影响发出了欢迎的邀请。书中的分析将帮助所有读者理解像黑人教会这样的不同机构是如何应对流行病、种族不公正和公众觉醒的。而且，重要的是，这本书将学术视角放在了一个关键时刻，抓住了当前对长期社会转型的一个中点的思考。

ABSTRACT Slovakia is traditionally considered a relatively highly religious country with a strong influence of the Catholic Church. Although the real number of believers declines sharply with each census (the last one was held in 2021), interventions, especially by the Catholic hierarchy, in public space and politics are relatively frequent and noteworthy. This article presents the most important of these interventions in the last approx. 20 years. This undertakes within the traditional Catholic agenda: the anti-choice (‘pro-life’) movement, the negative attitude towards the rights of LGBTIQ minority, and the issues of education. Consequently, it will be clarified that the official Catholic narrative, especially in recent years, is an ideological mixture of social conservatism, cultural anti-modernism, and the fear of progressivism and liberalism. Based on the analysis of the interpretative repertoires of various speech acts (speeches, homilies, interviews and various written texts), the very nature of bishops’ interventions will be explained.

ABSTRACT This article examines the religious conditions in Post-Stalinist Czechoslovakia on the example of the Pentecostal movement. It enlarges the classical research scope done on a church-state axis by focusing on a minority religious group, which is not only oppressed by the system driven by atheistic imperatives but also must compete with the rival religious organization. By using the concept of the religious field, the study argues that the state socialist system was caught between two different roles. The state tried to diminish the belief in God, but also it was supposed to operate as a guarantor of religious life. The state division of roles enabled believers to take an active part in negotiating their religious independence and even when they failed, it shows that they were not passive objects controlled by the state, but active actors with an agency of their own.

shortcomings. First, it lacks the dedication to draw on resources from Chinese academia. In most places, Walsh is satisfied to yield conclusions from textual hermeneutics of constitutions, decrees, official documents, and historical accounts. Considering the language barrier, this approach may be understandable; nevertheless, it gives the impression that the book’s conceptual lens is too narrow to justify its arguments. For instance, the following questions remain inadequately addressed: are there any reflections upon the ‘secular religiosity’ of Chinese nation-statism among the Chinese general public and intellectuals? How does this ‘religion-oriented’ interpretation engage with other interpretations of Chinese nation-state making, especially from a Greater China perspective? Where do the ‘religious-like’ forms of nationalism originate from in China—its history of humiliation, traditional values, the quasi-religiosity of Marxism, or secularity itself? These oversights make the author less persuasive in some of his arguments. Second, some parts of the book lack extended focus and are loosely organized. The most evident example is an arguably redundant section titled ‘Museification’ which appears in chapter three. Walsh writes in relatively elaborate detail about a trip to the Museum of World Religions in Taipei, only to conclude that the answer to the question, ‘what does China mean by religion today?’ cannot be sought in the museum since the ‘objects in the museum are dead culture’ and the museum ‘has little to do with the world’ (p. 69). Sporadic passages about South Africa also divert focus from the central theme of Chinese nation-statehood. Although Walsh maintains that apartheid South Africa can inspire reflections upon China’s situation, I do not see any relevant specificity in the parallels established between these two nations: they are widely different in terms of history, culture, and current conditions. Despite these limitations, this book remains a rich work that provides us with critical insights into the interactions between secularity and religiosity in modern China. Serving as a challenge to the claim that religions are antithetical to secular states, this book is innovative and intriguing, encouraging readers to further investigation.
的缺点。首先，它缺乏从中国学术界汲取资源的决心。在大多数地方，沃尔什满足于从宪法、法令、官方文件和历史记载的文本解释学中得出结论。考虑到语言障碍，这种方法可能是可以理解的;然而，它给人的印象是，这本书的概念镜头太窄，无法证明其论点。例如，以下问题仍然没有得到充分的解决:中国普通公众和知识分子是否对中国民族国家主义的“世俗宗教性”有任何反思?这种“以宗教为导向”的解释如何与其他对中国民族国家形成的解释相结合，特别是从大中国的角度来看?在中国，“宗教性”的民族主义形式起源于哪里——是屈辱的历史、传统价值观、马克思主义的准宗教性，还是世俗性本身?这些疏忽使作者在某些论点中缺乏说服力。第二，本书的某些部分缺乏扩展的重点，组织松散。最明显的例子是出现在第三章的标题为“博物馆化”的冗余部分。沃尔什在书中相对详细地描述了他去台北世界宗教博物馆(Museum of World Religions)的经历，最后得出的结论是，“宗教在今天的中国意味着什么?”在博物馆里是找不到的，因为“博物馆里的东西是死文化”，而且博物馆“与世界没有什么关系”(第69页)。关于南非的零星段落也转移了人们对中国民族国家地位这一中心主题的关注。尽管沃尔什坚持认为，南非的种族隔离制度可以激发人们对中国情况的反思，但我认为这两个国家之间建立的相似之处没有任何相关的特殊性:它们在历史、文化和现状方面存在很大差异。尽管有这些局限性，这本书仍然是一部丰富的作品，为我们提供了对现代中国世俗与宗教之间相互作用的批判性见解。作为对宗教与世俗国家对立的说法的挑战，这本书新颖而有趣，鼓励读者进一步研究。

European and Chinese overseers change? While the contract laborers may not have a vivid voice of their own in the historical sources, their behavior, and therefore their performative acts, are nevertheless well-documented in both the press and in various archives. This means that it would have been within the realm of the possible to study this category of people. Everything taken together, however, I would like to warmly recommend the book Performing Power to anyone who is interested in the overlap between politics and culture and to all scholars in any way occupied with political history, cultural history, colonial history, or (political) anthropology.
