This book explores the globalization of Japanese religions, challenging the simplistic identification of Japanese religions in this regard with the global expansion of several new religious movements. The Global Repositioning of Japanese Religions draws on ethnographic and archival research in Japan and Hawaii to ask how Japanese Buddhism, Shinto, and new religious movements react to the increasing relativization of worldviews and values brought about by globalization. An empirically grounded study of the effects of global trends on local religions, this book will appeal to social scientists with interests in religion, globalization and new faith movements.
Ugo Dessì is Adjunct Professor at the Institute for the Study of Religion at the University of Leipzig, Germany, and Honorary Research Associate at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. He is the author of Japanese Religions and Globalization (2013) and Ethics and Society in Contemporary Shin Buddhism (2007), and editor of The Social Dimension of Shin Buddhism (2010).
