By Way of Conclusion: The Present Crisis and the Religions of the Future.This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of religious identities in the Global South. Drawing on literature in various fields, Felix Wilfred analyzes how religious identities intersect with the processes of globalization, modernity, and postmodernity. He illustrates how the study of religion in the Global North often revolves around questions of secularism and fundamentalism, whereas a neo-Orientalist quality often attends study of religion in the Global South. These approaches and theorizing fail to incorporate the experiences of lived religion in the South, especially in Asia. Historically, the religions in the South have played a highly significant role in resistance to the domination by the colonial forces, an important reason for the continued attachment of the peoples of the South to their religious universe. This book puts the two regions and their scholarly norms in conversation with one another, exploring the social, political, cultural, and economic implications. .New Approaches to Religion and Power,2634-6087Identification (Religion)Political aspectsDeveloping countriesReligion and politicsDeveloping countriesIdentification (Religion)Political aspectsReligion and politics322.1091724Wilfred Felix1226006MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910484361103321Religious identities and the Global South2846499UNINA
