The contributors to this volume treat pluralism as a concept
that is historically and ideologically produced or, put another
way, as a doctrine that is embedded within a range of political,
civic, and cultural institutions. Their critique considers how
religious difference is framed as a problem that only pluralism can
solve. Working comparatively across nations and disciplines, the
essays in "After Pluralism" explore pluralism as a "term of art"
that sets the norms of identity and the parameters of exchange,
encounter, and conflict. Contributors locate pluralism's ideals in
diverse sites--Broadway plays, Polish Holocaust memorials, Egyptian
dream interpretations, German jails, and legal theories--and
demonstrate its shaping of political and social interaction in
surprising and powerful ways. Throughout, they question assumptions
underlying pluralism's discourse and its influence on the legal
decisions that shape modern religious practice. Contributors do
more than deconstruct this theory; they tackle what comes next.
Having established the genealogy and effects of pluralism, they
generate new questions for engaging the collective worlds and
multiple registers in which religion operates.
