Canonical readings in religion, globalization and postcolonialism are paired with lesser-known texts in order to invite critical analysis. Extracts explored include work by Max Weber, Edward Said, David Chidester, and Kant, as well as political documents such as the British Parliament's 1813 Act regarding the East India Company. Sources range from the origins of the common phrase \"jihad vs. McWorld\" in the work of Benjamin Barber, to personal essays reflecting religious responses to globalization. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on a history of religions approach, \u003ci\u003eReligion, Postcolonialism, and Globalization\u003c\/i\u003e provides an alternative to existing sociological work on religion and globalization.
