While French laicite is often considered something fixed, its daily
deployment is rather messy. What might we learn if we study the
governance of religion from a dynamic bottom-up perspective? Using
an ethnographic approach, this book examines everyday secularism in
the making. How do city actors understand, frame and govern
religious diversity? Which local factors play a role in those
processes? In Urban Secularism: Negotiating Religious Diversity in
Europe, Julia Martinez-Arino brings the reader closer to the
entrails of laicite. She provides detailed accounts of the ways
religious groups, city officials, municipal employees, secularist
actors and other civil-society organisations negotiate concrete
public expressions of religion. Drawing on rich empirical material,
the book demonstrates that urban actors draw and (re-)produce
dichotomies of inclusion and exclusion, and challenge static
conceptions of laicite and the nation. Illustrating how urban,
national and international contexts interact with one another, the
book provides researchers with a deeper understanding of the
multilevel governance of religious diversity.
