Recenzii
In this rich comparative ethnography, Daan Beekers explores how the pious pursuits of both young revivalist Christians and Muslims in the Netherlands become entangled with and fuelled by secular and capitalist dynamics. This nuanced account offers a compelling intervention into contemporary debates on religion and secularism in Europe and makes a strong case for the value of comparative analysis within the anthropology of religion.
Few books approach recent developments in Christianity and Islam in a rigorous comparative manner-this is one. Daan Beekers convincingly shows that many Dutch religious-minded young people share very similar concerns and pathways.
Challenging well-trodden fault lines that imagine Muslims and Christians as separate, Daan Beekers clears a conceptual space for the comparative study of religious plurality. An incisive intervention in the study of religion and society in Europe!
Beekers's book is well argued and thought through. The themes he explores such as lived religion and the everyday, consumerism and capitalism in relation to religiosity, authenticity and sincerity as well as the comparative approach make the book important reading for academics and students of various disciplines who study religion and religiosity, secularism, and capitalism in Europe.
[A]n excellent overview of connecting discourses within the field of religion and youth research.
