Religion and a New Nation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on extensive fieldwork among Muslims in contemporary Nepal, this book examines the local and global factors shaping an emerging Islamic revival in a Hindu majority region of South Asia. It traces the ways that Nepal's Muslims have become active participants in the larger global movement of Sunni revivalism, and Nepal's own local politics of representation in the context of political transition to democracy and secularism.
