Reviews
The detailed nature of this volume’s arguments and illustrations and its good use of previous literature make it invaluable for graduate students and scholars who want to develop their understanding of globalization beyond a basic introduction to the topic. It deserves a place on the shelf of anyone interested in the interconnection between religion, globalization and culture and would be an important reference in any university library. - Mark D. Chapman, in: Studies in Religion, Vol 39, Iss 2 (2010).
