- The book is based on 24 months of fieldwork between 1995 - 2013, partly LSE-funded, in several locations in Kyrgyzstan. It involved in-depth ethnographic research into the trajectories of four different ideological movements, which were compared and contrasted in order to develop an empirically grounded relational theory of belief, conviction, and doubt. This also involved extensive engagement with four thematic sets of literature, relating to the themes of atheism, Pentecostal Christianity, the Tablighi Jamaat, and (Islamic) shamanism. Most of the writing was carried out during a year-long sabbatical from September 2014 to August 2015.
