Some regard it as a pejorative term, referring to local versions of notionally standard `world religions' which are deemed `inauthentic' because saturated with indigenous content. Syncretic versions of Christianity do not conform to `official' (read `European') models. In other contexts however, the syncretic amalgamation of religions may be validated as a mode of resistance to colonial hegemony, a sign of cultural survival, or as a means of authorising political dominance in a multicultural state. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eSyncretism\/Anti-Syncretism\u003c\/em\u003e the contributors explore the issues of agency and power which are integral to the very process of syncretism and to the competing discourses surrounding the term.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235892384088,"sku":"9780415111164","price":173.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415111164.jpg?v=1769067926","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/syncretism-anti-syncretism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
