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. . 410 0$aNew Approaches to Religion and Power,$x2634-6087 606 $aReligions 606 $aArchaeology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aComparative Religion 606 $aGlobal South Methods and Theory 606 $aAsian Culture 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aArchaeology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aComparative Religion. 615 24$aGlobal South Methods and Theory. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 676 $a322.1091724 700 $aWilfred$b Felix$01740960 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863145703321 996 $aReligious identities and the Global South$94166897 997 $aUNINA
