Borrowing from a range of theories on spacemaking and material religion, and with contributions from anthropologists working in the United Kingdom, Mali, Brazil, Spain, and Italy, this fascinating and comprehensive study develops an anthropological perspective on modern religious architecture including mosques, churches, and synagogues. 'Religious Architecture' examines how religious buildings take their place in opposition to their secular surroundings and, in so doing, function not only as community centers in urban daily life, but also as evocations of the sublime that help believers to move beyond the boundaries of modern subjectivity.

De Landenreeks behandelt verschillende aspecten van de geschiedenis, de cultuur, de politiek, de sociale omstandigheden en de economie van een land. Het werk bevat zwart-wit en kleurenfoto's, cijfergegevens, tabellen en kaarten. Er is een duidelijk accent gelegd op achtergrondinformatie en analyses van recente ontwikkelingen. De Pakistaanse regering heeft aan het begin van de 21ste eeuw de oorlog verklaard aan de extremistische islam en op meerdere fronten de weg naar liberalisering ingeslagen: men wenst een vrije markt, streeft naar een open maatschappij, geeft de media de ruimte. Pakistan moet het land worden van liberale en democratisch gezinde moslims. Maar de oppositie is sterk, machtig en talrijk. De uitkomst van dit gevecht over de toekomst van Pakistan en het Pakistaanse volk is vooralsnog onzeker.

Being part of a violent community in revolt can be addictive--it can be fun. This book offers a fascinating inside look at present-day political violence in Pakistan through a historical ethnography of the Muhajir Qaumi Movement (MQM), one of the most remarkable and successful religious nationalist movements in postcolonial South Asia. The MQM has mobilized much of the "migrant" (Muhajir) population in Karachi and other urban centers in southern Pakistan and has fomented large-scale ethnic-religious violence. Oskar Verkaaik argues that urban youth see it as an irresistible opportunity for "fun." Drawing on both anthropological fieldwork, including participatory observation among political militants, and historical analyses of state formation, nation-building, and the ethnicization of Islam since 1947, he provides an absorbing and important contribution to theoretical debates about political--religious and nationalist--violence. Migrants and Militants brings together two perspectives on political violence. Recent studies on ethnic cleansing, genocide, terrorism, and religious violence have emphasized processes of identification and purification. Verkaaik combines these insights with a focus on urban youth culture, in which masculinity, physicality, and the performance of violence are key values. He shows that only through fun and absurdity can a nascent movement transgress the dominant discourse to come of its own. Using these observations, he considers violence as a ludic practice, violence as "martyrdom" and sacrifice, and violence as "terrorism" and resistance.

"Ritueel burgerschap" is deels een etnografie van gemeentelijke inburgeringsrituelen. Hoe ziet dat geritualiseerde Nederland er eigenlijk uit? Bestaat er een Nederland voorbij kaas, aardappels en Johan Cruijff? En geloven de organiserende ambtenaren zelf in de folklore die ze oproepen? Nederland is in de ban van cultuur. Meer dan ooit worden culturele verschillen tussen bevolkingsgroepen benadrukt. Integratieproblemen worden vooral gezien als een culturele kwestie in plaats van een sociaal-economisch probleem. Wij praten niet meer over kansarmen, maar over de islam of tribale culturen. Een diepgravende antropologische analyse van wat er in Nederland gaande is, ontbreekt tot dusver. Dit boek vult dat gat.

In this book three anthropologists explore contemporary religious architecture and they develop an original vision on the religious landscape in the Netherlands and Europe. Mosques, synagogues and churches do not only facilitate and symbolize religion, the intimate relationship we have with these buildings touches the essence of what religion is today - in both a positive and a negative sense.
