Global Secularisms addresses the state of and prospects for
secularism globally. Drawing from multiple fields, it brings
together theoretical discussion and empirical case studies that
illustrate "on-the-ground," extant secularisms as they interact
with various religious, political, social, and economic contexts.
Its point of departure is the fact that secularism is plural and
that various secularisms have developed in various contexts and
from various traditions around the world. Secularism takes on
different social meanings and political valences wherever it is
expressed. The essays collected here provide numerous points of
contact between empirical case studies and theoretical reflection.
This multiplicity informs and challenges the conceptual
theorization of secularism as a universal doctrine. Analyses of
different regions enrich our understanding of the meanings of
secularism, providing comparative range to our notions of
secularity. Theoretical treatments help to inform our understanding
of secularism in context, enabling readers to discern what is at
stake in the various regional expressions of secularity globally.
While the bulk of the essays are case-based research, the current
thinking of leading theorists and scholars is also included.
