Living with Religious Diversity (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Sikka, Sonia; Beaman, Lori G.; Puri, Bindu

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume examines the ways in which multicultural societies balance diversity and the quest for equality with common national identities. It does not restrict the discourse on secularism to the state and public policy alone, but extends it to other non-institutionalised actors while addressing issues arising from the lived experience of religious diversity in various countries.
