Rezensionen

'This is a wonderful collection combining excellent historical scholarship with incisive cultural critique. Religion and Violence: The South Asian Perspective is one of the very few books in this field to illuminate the present by an understanding of religious traditions. It is very well written and thus a good read both for students of social sciences and humanities. ' - Peter van der Veer, Utrecht University

'...this edited volume has importance, not just for the discipline of the study of religin, but also for all subjects that engage with the links between religion, globalization and violence. This volume is long overdue.' - Tamsin Bradley, London Metropolitan University, UK
