Religious Identity and Social Change offers a macro and micro
analysis of the dynamics of rapid social and religious change
occurring within the Muslim world. Drawing on rich ethnographic and
quantitative research in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, David Radford
provides theoretical insight into the nature of religious and
social change and ethnic identity transformation exploring
significant questions concerning why people convert and what
happens when they do so. A crisis of identity occurs when religious
conversion takes place, especially from one major religious
tradition (Islam) to another (Christianity); and where religious
identity is intimately connected to ethnic and national identity.
Radford argues for the importance of recognising the socially
constructed nature of identity involving the dynamic interplay
between human agency, culture and social networks. Kyrgyz
Christians have been active agents in bringing religious and
identity transformation building upon the contextual parameters in
which they are situated.
