This book re-examines the relationship between religion and
nationalism in a contemporary Asian context, with a focus on East,
South and South East Asia. Addressing empirical, analytical, and
normative questions, it analyses selected case studies from across
Asia, including China, India, Iraq, Japan, Pakistan, the
Philippines and Sri Lanka and compares the differences and
commonalities between the diverse configurations of nationalism and
religion across the continent. It then goes on to explain reasons
for the regional religious resurgence and asks, is the nation-state
model, aligned with secularism, suitable for the region? Exploring
the two interrelated issues of legacies and possibilities, this
book also examines the relationship between nationalism and
modernity, identifying possible and desirable trajectories which go
beyond existing configurations of nationalism and religion.
Bringing together a stellar line up of contributors in the field,
Religion and Nationalism in Asia will be a valuable resource for
students and scholars of Asian religion and politics as well as
sociology, ethnicity, nationalism and comparative politics.
