Working in four scholarly teams focused on different global regions-North America, the European Union, the Middle East, and China-the contributors to Religion, Secularism, and Political Belonging examine how new political worlds intersect with locally specific articulations of religion and secularism. The essays address many topics, including the changing relationship between Islam and politics in post-2010 revolution Tunisia, the influence of religion on the sharp turn to the political right in Western Europe, understandings of Confucianism as a form of secularism, and the alliance between evangelical Christians and neoliberal business elites in the United States since the 1970s. This volume also provides a methodological template for how humanities scholars around the world can collaboratively engage with sweeping issues of global significance. Contributors.
