Religious Diversity in Australia: Living Well with Difference

Editat de Douglas Ezzy, Anna Halafoff, Greg Barton, Rebecca Banham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mar 2024
This book documents the structure of religious diversity in Australia and examines this diversity in the context of the law, migration, education, policing, the media and interfaith communities.Focusing on Melbourne and Tasmania, it articulates the benefits and opportunities of diversity, alongside the challenges that confront religious and ethnic minorities, including discrimination and structural inequalities generated by Christian and otherforms of privilege. It articulates constructive strategies that are deployed, includingencouraging forms of belonging, structured ways of negotiating disagreement and respectful engagement with difference.While scholars across the West are increasingly attuned to the problems and promises of growing religious diversity in a global age, in-depth empirical research on the consequences of that diversity in Australia is lacking. This book provides a rich, well-researched, and timely intervention.

Recenzii

An illuminating exploration of religious diversity in Australia, this book offers a comprehensive examination of religiosity in the context of migration and highlights the significance of non-religion and spirituality in the Australian societal tapestry. The book unpacks new forms of securitization and discrimination, and also unveils the nuances of Christian privilege. A crucial read for understanding the heterogeneity of religious diversity in contemporary Australia.
