Although its beginnings can be traced back to the late 19th
century, the interfaith movement has only recently begun to attract
mainstream attention, with governments, religious leaders and
grassroots activists around the world increasingly turning to
interfaith dialogue and collective action to address the challenges
posed and explore the opportunities presented by religious
diversity in a globalising world. This volume explores the history
and development of the interfaith movement by engaging with new
theoretical perspectives and a diverse range of case studies from
around the world. The first book to bring together experts in the
fields of religion, politics and social movement theory to offer an
in-depth social analysis of the interfaith movement, it not only
sheds new light on the movement itself, but challenges the
longstanding academic division of labour that confines 'religious'
and 'social' movements to separate spheres of inquiry.

In a rapidly changing world, in which religious identities emerge
as crucial fault lines in political and public discourse, this
volume brings together multiple disciplinary perspectives in order
to investigate shifting conceptions of, and commitments to, the
ideals of religious pluralism. Spanning theology, sociology,
politics and anthropology, the chapters explore various approaches
to coexistence, political visions of managing diversity and lived
experiences of multireligiosity, in order to examine how modes of
religious pluralism are being constructed and contested in
different parts of the world. Contributing authors analyse
challenges to religious pluralism, as well as innovative kinds of
conviviality, that produce meaningful engagements with diversity
and shared community life across different social, political and
economic settings. This book will be relevant to scholars of
religion, community life, social change and politics, and will also
be of interest to civil society organisations, NGOs, international
agencies and local, regional and national policymakers.
Becoming Vaishnava in an Ideal Vedic City centers on a growing
multinational community of ISKCON (International Society for
Krishna Consciousness) devotees in Mayapur, West Bengal. While
ISKCON's history is often presented in terms of an Indian guru
'transplanting' Indian spirituality to the West, this book focusses
on the efforts to bring ISKCON back to India. Paying particular
attention to devotees' failure to consistently live up to ISKCON's
ideals and the ongoing struggle to realize the utopian vision of an
'ideal Vedic city', this book argues that the anthropology of
ethics must account for how moral systems accommodate the problem
of moral failure.
