Description
Religion and Nationalism in Global Perspective provides a comprehensive analysis of how religious beliefs and institutions shape nationalist movements worldwide. Drawing on case studies from multiple continents and religious traditions, the authors examine the intricate connections between faith-based identities and national consciousness.
The book explores how religious communities mobilize around nationalist agendas, the role of sacred narratives in constructing national identity, and the tensions that arise when religious and secular nationalism conflict. It addresses contemporary issues including religious extremism, immigration, and the politics of religious establishment across different societies.
Through comparative analysis, Soper and Fetzer demonstrate that the relationship between religion and nationalism is neither uniform nor static, varying significantly based on historical context, institutional structures, and political circumstances. This work is essential for scholars and students of religious studies, political science, and sociology seeking to understand the enduring influence of religion on national politics.
