Borders of Belief by Gregory J Goalwin

Borders of Belief by Gregory J Goalwin

Why and how have modern nationalists built religious identity as the foundational signifier of national identity in what sociologists have predicted would be a more secular world? This book takes two cases - nationalism in both Ireland and Turkey in the 20th century - as a foundation to advance a new theory of religious nationalism.

"In an age where religious nationalisms and populisms are on the rise, Goalwin's comparative-historical work is a welcome contribution for comprehending how religious identities and politics interactA valuable source for social scientists as well as non-specialists who are interested in this complex phenomenon." -- Efe Peker * co-author of Challenging Neoliberalism at Turkey’s Gezi Park: From Private Discontent to Collective Action *
