Questions of secularity and modernity have become globalized, but
most studies still focus on the West. This volume breaks new ground
by comparatively exploring developments in five areas of the world,
some of which were hitherto situated at the margins of
international scholarly discussions: Africa, the Arab World, East
Asia, South Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe. In theoretical
terms, the book examines three key dimensions of modern secularity:
historical pathways, cultural meanings, and global entanglements of
secular formations. The contributions show how differences in these
dimensions are linked to specific histories of religious and ethnic
diversity, processes of state-formation and nation-building. They
also reveal how secularities are critically shaped through
civilizational encounters, processes of globalization, colonial
conquest, and missionary movements, and how entanglements between
different territorially grounded notions of secularity or between
local cultures and transnational secular arenas unfold over time.
