This volume breaks new ground by comparatively exploring developments in five areas of the world, some of which were hitherto situated at the margins of international scholarly discussions: Africa, the Arab World, East Asia, South Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe.In theoretical terms, the book examines three key dimensions of modern secularity: historical pathways, cultural meanings, and global entanglements of secular formations. The contributions show how differences in these dimensions are linked to specific histories of religious and ethnic diversity, processes of state-formation and nation-building. They also reveal how secularities are critically shaped through civilizational encounters, processes of globalization, colonial conquest, and missionary movements, and how entanglements between different territorially grounded notions of secularity or between local cultures and transnational secular arenas unfold over time.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 155mmItem Weight: 635gContributor: Marian Burchardt (Edited by), Monika Wohlrab-Sahr (Edited by), Matthias Middell (Edited by)Author: Marian BurchardtGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Religion and Its OthersTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
