Religion and the Domestication of Dissent : Or, How to Live in a Less Than Perfect Nation, Paperback / softback Book

Religion and the Domestication of Dissent : Or, How to Live in a Less Than Perfect Nation Paperback / softback

Part of the Religion in Culture series

Paperback / softback

Description

Since the events of 9/11 the representation of Islam has increasingly come adrift from its actuality.

Scholars and pundits have effectively demonised a whole faith by wilfully apportioning blame and by ignoring the differences within the Islamic movement. 'Religion and the Domestication of Dissent' examines how the classifications we use to name and negotiate our social worlds - notably 'religion' - are implicitly political.

The study ranges widely from contemporary film and art to the War on Terror and will be invaluable to readers interested in the politics behind the portrayal of dissenting religious groups.
