{"product_id":"after-pluralism-courtney-bender-9780231152327","title":"After Pluralism: Reimagining Religious Engagement","description":"The contributors to this volume treat pluralism as a concept that is historically and ideologically produced or, put another way, as a doctrine that is embedded within a range of political, civic, and cultural institutions. Their critique considers how religious difference is framed as a problem that only pluralism can solve. Working comparatively across nations and disciplines, the essays in \u003ci\u003eAfter Pluralism\u003c\/i\u003e explore pluralism as a \"term of art\" that sets the norms of identity and the parameters of exchange, encounter, and conflict. Contributors locate pluralism's ideals in diverse sites--Broadway plays, Polish Holocaust memorials, Egyptian dream interpretations, German jails, and legal theories--and demonstrate its shaping of political and social interaction in surprising and powerful ways. Throughout, they question assumptions underlying pluralism's discourse and its influence on the legal decisions that shape modern religious practice. Contributors do more than deconstruct this theory; they tackle what comes next. Having established the genealogy and effects of pluralism, they generate new questions for engaging the collective worlds and multiple registers in which religion operates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Courtney Bender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231152329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231152327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011","brand":"Courtney Bender","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086434054399,"sku":"9780231152327","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58b3ab1c-e104-4207-a974-4ec30b086f18.jpg?v=1769094648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-pluralism-courtney-bender-9780231152327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
