This book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of
religious identities in the Global South. Drawing on literature in
various fields, Felix Wilfred analyzes how religious identities
intersect with the processes of globalization, modernity, and
postmodernity. He illustrates how the study of religion in the
Global North often revolves around questions of secularism and
fundamentalism, whereas a neo-Orientalist quality often attends
study of religion in the Global South. These approaches and
theorizing fail to incorporate the experiences of lived religion in
the South, especially in Asia. Historically, the religions in the
South have played a highly significant role in resistance to the
domination by the colonial forces, an important reason for the
continued attachment of the peoples of the South to their religious
universe. This book puts the two regions and their scholarly norms
in conversation with one another, exploring the social, political,
cultural, and economic implications.
