Religion, Identity and Human Security seeks to demonstrate that a
major source of human insecurity comes from the failure of states
around the world to recognize the increasing cultural diversity of
their populations which has resulted from globalization. Shani
begins by setting out the theoretical foundations, dealing with the
transformative effects of globalization on identity, violence and
security. The second part of the volume then draws on different
cases of sites of human insecurity around the globe to develop
these ideas, examining themes such as: securitization of religious
symbols retreat from multiculturalism rise of exclusivist
ethno-religious identities post- 9/11 state religion, colonization
and the 'racialization' of migration Highlighting that religion can
be a source of both human security and insecurity in a globalizing
world, Shani offers a 'critical' human security paradigm that seeks
to de-secularize the individual by recognizing the culturally
contested and embedded nature of human identities. The work argues
that religion serves an important role in re-embedding individuals
deracinated from their communities by neo-liberal globalization and
will be of interest to students of International Relations,
Security Studies and Religion and Politics.
