The subject of this book is ritual behaviour, in particular of
groups with a distinctive religious, ethnic or other identity which
use rituals to pursue strategic ends "ad intra and "ad extra.
Five essays offer theoretical perspectives on ritual in plural and
pluralist societies, on similarity and demarcation, on the negative
case of the Australian Aboriginals, on Brazilian religious
pluralism, and on Ghanaian churches in the Netherlands. Three
essays describe the ritualization of the encounter, or
confrontation, between religions in India (between Buddhists and
Hindus, and between Hindus and Muslims), and in Yemen between
Muslims and Jews. Four essays study the responses to internal
religious plurality, in early Israel, on Java, in Indonesia, and in
Spain and North Africa. One essay explores responses to external
religious plurality. In the epilogue, the social nature of
pluralism and identity is highlighted.
