Theoretically grounded and empirically informed, \u003ci\u003eReligion and the Global City \u003c\/i\u003eadvances discussions in the field of urban religion, and establishes future research directions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e David Garbin and Anna Strhan bring together a wealth of ethnographically rich and vivid case studies in a diversity of urban settings, in both Global North and Global South contexts. These case studies are drawn from both ‘classical’ global cities such as London and Paris, and also from large cosmopolitan metropolises - such as Bangalore, Rio de Janeiro, Lagos, Singapore and Hong Kong – which all constitute, in their own terms, powerful sites within the informational, cultural and moral networked economies of contemporary globalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The chapters explore some of the most pressing issues of our times: globalization and the role of global neo-liberal regimes; urban change and in particular the dramatic urbanization of Global South countries; and religious politics and religious revivalism associated, for instance, with transnational Islam or global Pentecostal\/Charismatic Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226400215384,"sku":"9781350094635","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350094635.jpg?v=1770278459","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/religion-and-the-global-city","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
