This book is about how indigenous religions are changing with modernity and globalization. It has a number of international contributors and is aimed at providing an historical and comparative analysis of the significance of indigenous faiths today.
At a time when local traditions across the world are forcibly colliding with global culture, Beyond Primitivism explores the future of indigenous religions as they encounter modernity and globalisation. Under the auspices of Jacob K. Olupona and the brightest international commentators including Charles Long, David Chidester and Bruce Lincoln, the book offers an essential historical and comparative analysis of the significance of indigenous faiths today.
