Indigenous Religion(s): Local Grounds, Global Networks

Autor Siv Ellen Kraft, Bjørn Ola Tafjord, Arkotong Longkumer, Gregory D. Alles, Greg Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2020
What counts as 'indigenous religion' in today´s world? Who claims this category? What are the processes through which local entities become recognisable as 'religious' and 'indigenous'? How is all of this connected to struggles for power, rights and sovereignty?
This book sheds light on the contemporary lives of indigenous religion(s), through case studies from Sápmi, Nagaland, Talamanca, Hawai`i, and Gujarat, and through a shared focus on translations, performances, mediation and sovereignty. It builds on long term case-studies and on the collaborative comparison of a long-term project, including shared fieldwork. At the center of its concerns are translations between a globalising discourse (indigenous religion in the singular) and distinct local traditions (indigenous religions in the plural).
With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this book is a must read for students and researchers in indigenous religions, including those in related fields such as religious studies and social anthropology.

Recenzii

The contributors to this book, each of whom is a highly respected scholar in the field of Indigenous Religions, combine clearly articulated theoretical models with detailed descriptions of concrete cases. In the process, the authors demonstrate that the study of religion only makes sense when, as in the examples of the Indigenous societies described, generalisations are derived from empirical research on specific religious communities and then analysed according to their local historical, political and social contexts.
