What is the place of pluralism in the context of a dominant
religion? How does the perception of religion as "tradition" and
"culture" affect pluralism? Why do minorities' demands for
recognition often transform into exclusion? Through her ethnography
of a multireligious community in rural Poland, Agnieszka Pasieka
demonstrates how we can better understand the nature of pluralism
by examining how it is lived and experienced within a homogenous
society. Painting a vivid picture of everyday interreligious
sociability, Pasieka reveals the constant balance of rural
inhabitants between ideas of sameness and difference, and the
manifold ways in which religion informs local cooperation,
relations among neighbors and friends, and common attempts to "make
pluralism." The book traces these developments through several
decades of the community's history, unveiling and exposing the
paradoxes inscribed into the practice and discourse of pluralism
and complex processes of negotiation of social identities.
