Religion and Superdiversity
Guest Editors: Irene Becci (University of Lausanne) and Marian Burchardt (Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Goettingen)
Superdiversity has become a major concept to address the increasing complexity of urban populations across the globe beyond the emphasis on monolithic identity categories. This special issue breaks new ground by opening up the debate to questions of how religion is part of, and affected by the condition of superdiversity. This set of original research articles explores how different kinds of religious differences interact with one another in shaping people’s lives, cultural self-understandings, social ideals and political practices in Europe, Latin America and North America.
