Antagonistic Tolerance examines patterns of coexistence and
conflict amongst members of different religious communities, using
multidisciplinary research to analyze groups who have peacefully
intermingled for generations, and who may have developed aspects of
syncretism in their religious practices, and yet have turned
violently on each other. Such communities define themselves as
separate peoples, with different and often competing interests, yet
their interaction is usually peaceable provided the dominance of
one group is clear. The key indicator of dominance is control over
central religious sites, which may be tacitly shared for long
periods, but later contested and even converted as dominance
changes. By focusing on these shared and contested sites, this
volume allows for a wider understanding of relations between these
communities. Using a range of ethnographic, historical and
archaeological data from the Balkans, India, Mexico, Peru, Portugal
and Turkey, Antagonistic Tolerance develops a comparative model of
the competitive sharing and transformation of religious sites.
These studies are not considered as isolated cases, but are instead
woven into a unified analytical framework which explains how
long-term peaceful interactions between religious communities can
turn conflictual and even result in ethnic cleansing.
