Reviews

“By bringing religions in confrontation with globalization, this volume offers a healthy corrective to the received view that one religion, Christianity, shall be the measuring stick to evaluate all other religions and to the received view that links a given religion to a given race. Religions/Globalizations makes a signal contribution to understanding the changing faces of religions in an era in which the old principles of colonial domination are being redrawn under the new forms of global coloniality.”—Walter Mignolo, Duke University

“This collection places the long-standing issue of the relation between religion and politics in the context of ‘post-Cold War’ developments and the rise of neoliberal capitalist globalization. The essays explore how religion reinforces stasis and exploitation on the one hand, and motivates resistance and change on the other.”—Mark Lewis Taylor, Princeton Theological Seminary
