Religion, Culture, and the Public Sphere in China and Japan Edited by
Albert Welter Jeffrey Newmark
Religion and Society in Asia Pacific Series Editor Mark R. Mullins Japan Studies Centre University of Auckland Auckland, New Zealand
While various book series on Religion and Society already exist, most tend to be Euro-centric or have a North American focus. The proposed series would promote contemporary scholarship on the Asia-Pacific Region, particularly studies that give attention to the interaction and mutual transformation of religions across national boundaries and beyond their country of origin. This would be a multidisciplinary series that includes both historical and contemporary ethnographic studies, which would contribute to our understanding of the traditional and changing roles of religion in multiple socio-political contexts in the region. Especially welcome would be comparative studies that expand the frame of analysis beyond the nation-state and those that address emerging issues and trends related to globalization, such as religious pluralism and social conflict over the re- emerging public role of religion, transnational religious movements, and Asian religions in diaspora communities.
