This unique collection highlights the importance of landscape,
politics and piety to our understandings of religion and place. The
geographies of religion have developed rapidly in the last couple
of decades and this book provides both a conceptual framing of the
key issues and debates involved, and rich illustrations through
empirical case studies. The chapters span the discipline of human
geography and cover contexts as diverse as veiling in Turkey,
religious landscapes in rural Peru, and refugees and faith in South
Africa. A number of prominent scholars and emerging researchers
examine topical themes in each engaging chapter with significant
foci being: religious transnationalism and religious landscapes;
gendering of religious identities and contexts; fashion, faith and
the body; identity, resistance and belief; immigrant identities,
citizenship and spaces of belief; alternative spiritualities and
places of retreat and enchantment. Together they make a series of
important contributions that illuminate the central role of
geography to the meaning and implications of lived religion, public
piety and religious embodiment. As such, this collection will be of
much interest to researchers and students working on topics
relating to religion and place, including human geographers,
sociologists, religious studies and religious education scholars.
