Regulating Difference

Religious Diversity and Nationhood in the Secular West

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Transnational migration has contributed to the rise of religious diversity in Western societies. Regulating Difference employs a transatlantic comparison to show how nation-building, religious heritage-making and divergent interpretations of secularism are co-implicated in shaping religious diversity. It argues that religious diversity has become central for governing national and urban spaces.
