{"product_id":"urban-secularism","title":"Urban Secularism","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile French \u003ci\u003elaïcité \u003c\/i\u003eis often considered something fixed, its daily deployment is rather messy. What might we learn if we study the governance of religion from a dynamic bottom-up perspective? Using an ethnographic approach, this book examines everyday secularism \u003ci\u003ein the making\u003c\/i\u003e. How do city actors understand, frame and govern religious diversity? Which local factors play a role in those processes? In \u003ci\u003eUrban Secularism: Negotiating Religious Diversity in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e, Julia Martínez-Ariño brings the reader closer to the entrails of \u003ci\u003elaïcité\u003c\/i\u003e. She provides detailed accounts of the ways religious groups, city officials, municipal employees, secularist actors and other civil-society organisations negotiate concrete public expressions of religion.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on rich empirical material, the book demonstrates that urban actors draw and (re-)produce dichotomies of inclusion and exclusion, and challenge static conceptions of \u003ci\u003elaïcité \u003c\/i\u003eand the nation. Illustrating how urban, national and international contexts interact with one another, the book provides researchers with a deeper understanding of the multilevel governance of religious diversity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227359727960,"sku":"9780367335670","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367335670.jpg?v=1777106757","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/urban-secularism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
