Taking as its premise the belief that communalism is not a
resurgence of tradition but is instead an inherently modern
phenomenon, as well as a product of the fundamental agencies and
ideas of modernity, and that globalization is neither a unique nor
unprecedented process, this book addresses the question of whether
globalization has amplified or muted processes of communalism. It
does so through exploring the concurrent histories of communalism
and globalization in four South Asian contexts - India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - as well as in various diasporic
locations, from the nineteenth century to the present. Including
contributions by some of the most notable scholars working on
communalism in South Asia and its diaspora as well as by some
challenging new voices, the book encompasses both different
disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. It looks at a range of
methodologies in an effort to stimulate new debates on the
relationship between communalism and globalization, and is a useful
contribution to studies on South Asia and Asian History.
