Religion, Ethnicity and Social Change
By Liz Fawcett.
Description
In this original contribution to the debate on the role of religion in ethnic conflict, the author argues that the recent focus on religious fundamentalism has obscured the ambiguous role of "mainstream" Western religion. The book examines the relationship between the religious and secular spheres at a time of rapid transition in South Africa and Northern Ireland. It analyzes the role of mainstream Protestantism as a site of struggle between competing world views and explains why this contest limits the potential of the church as a force for reconciliation. - from Amzon
