What happens to people's sense of belonging when globalisation
meets with proclaimed regional identities resting heavily on
conceptions of religion and ethnicity? Who are the actors stressing
cultural heritage and authenticity as tools for self-understanding?
In this book the authors aim at a broad discussion on how history
and religion are made part of the production of narratives about
origin and belonging in contemporary Europe. The contributors offer
localised studies where actors with strong agendas indicate the
complex relations between history, religion, and identity. The case
studies exemplify how public intellectuals and academics have taken
active part in the construction of recent and traditional pasts.
Instead of repeating the simplistic explanation as a "return of
religion", the authors of this volume focus on public platforms and
agents, and their use of religion as a political and cultural
argument. The approach makes a nuanced and fresh survey for
researchers and other initiated readers to engage in.
