Key questions concerning the significance of cosmopolitan ideas and practices - in relation to particular religious experiences and discourses -- remain to be explored, both theoretically and empirically. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book takes as its starting point the emergence of cosmopolitanism -- as a major interdisciplinary field -- as a springboard for generating a productive dialogue among scholars working within a variety of intellectual disciplines and methodological traditions. The chapter contributions offer a serious attempt to critically engage both the limitations and possibilities of cosmopolitanism as an analytical and critical tool to understand a changing religious landscape in a globalizing world, namely, the so-called 'new religious diversity', religious conflict, and issues of migration, multiculturalism and transnationalism vis-à-vis the public exercise of religion. The contributors' work is situated in a range of world sites in Africa, India, North America, Latin America, and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work will be of great interest to students and scholars of globalization, religion and politics, and the sociology of religion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Rovisco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415819385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415819381\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Maria Rovisco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658881151231,"sku":"9780415819381","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cosmopolitanism-religion-and-the-public-maria-rovisco-9780415819381","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
