While devotional practices are usually viewed as mechanisms for
reinforcing religious boundaries, in the multicultural,
multiconfessional world of the Eastern Mediterranean, shared
shrines sustain intercommunal and interreligious contact among
groups. Heterodox, marginal, and largely ignored by central
authorities, these practices persist despite aggressive,
homogenizing nationalist movements. This volume challenges much of
the received wisdom concerning the three major monotheistic
religions and the "clash of civilizations." Contributors examine
intertwined religious traditions along the shores of the Near East
from North Africa to the Balkans.
