Contemporary Paganism: Minority Religions in a Majoritarian America

Contemporary Paganism: Minority Religions in a Majoritarian America, Barbara Jane Davy's 2007 study from Routledge, is a scholarly academic account of Pagan religion as a minority faith in the United States. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed academic monograph from an established scholarly publisher. Its limit is that it is one scholar's synthesis of a genuinely diverse and fast-changing movement, so a claim about a specific, smaller Pagan tradition may need a more specialized source.
