Descriere

This book studies issues relating to minority religions' place within a multicultural society. Analyzing the particular case study of the Bhaktivedanta Manor campaign by ISKCON (the ‘Hare Krishnas’) alongside wider debates, it makes an important contribution to our understanding of the politics of cultural diversity and religious freedom.
