Borders of Belief

Religious Nationalism and the Formation of Identity in Ireland and Turkey

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why have modern nationalists built religious identity as the foundational signifier of nationality in an increasingly secular world? The cases of 20th century Ireland and Turkey reveal the answer: religious nationalism is not a knee-jerk reaction to secular modernization, but a tool that forges new and independent national identities.
