Description

Religion and Politics in a Global Society: Comparative Perspectives from the Portuguese-Speaking World, edited by Paul Christopher Manuel, Alynna Lyon, and Clyde Wilcox, explores the legacy of the Portuguese colonial experience, with careful consideration of the lasting impression that this experience has had on the cultural, religious, and political dynamics in the former colonies. Applying the insights derived from three theoretical schools (religious society, political institutions, and cultural toolkit), this volume brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines, offering in-depth case studies on Angola, Brazil, East Timor, Goa, Mozambique, and Portugal—societies connected by a shared colonial past and common cultural and sociolinguistic characteristics. Each chapter examines questions on how faith and culture interrelate, and how the various national experiences might resonate with one another. This volume provides a deeper understanding of the Lusophone global society, as well as the larger field of religion and politics.

Theoretically sophisticated and methodologically eclectic, this collection is a pleasure to read. The contributors have provided a marvelous account of an unlikely imperial power, as well as nuanced analyses of the multiple political and religious legacies of the Portuguese colonial experience.

Ted G. Jelen, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
This is a fascinating collection of essays on the complex role played by the Catholic Church in Portugal and the Portuguese colonies. Full of little known facts and intriguing insights, this collection is an excellent argument for interdisciplinary work and the need to study religious institutions as political actors.

Nancy Bermeo, University of Oxford
