Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The principal objectives of this section are (1) to identify the principal currents of thought and research in contemporary Anthropology of Religion; (2) provide a brief, critical history of the discipline from its inception to the present; (3) to discuss in depth the interplay of the so-called world religions and their translations into, revisions by, or transformation by local religious traditions. Special attention will be given to the processes of migration and transnational religions; the globalization of spiritual practices; the intersection of Religion, Medicine, and Health; and finally, the question of Violence and Religion.

Prof. Dr. Robin M. Wright
Guest Editor
