I argue that Christianity's success …

Borbieva explores how the religious sensibilities of her informants inspired unique responses to…

Drawing on my fieldwork in the Kyrgyz Republic, I assess current understandings of the practice. I argue that although functionalist and symbolic approaches to kidnapping are still relevant, it is necessary to consider kidnapping in the context of intensifying discursive competition over marriage, gender r…
