Interrogating Muslims

The Liberal-Secular Matrix of Integration

Schirin Amir-Moazami, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

An interrogation of the patterns and discursive structures that have generated the seeming urgency of Muslims’ integration Focusing on Germany, the book problematizes the grounds on which politics of integration are justified and reasoned upon, and thereby investigates divergent operations of power vis-à-vis Muslims and Islam in a formally liberal-secular society Through an analysis of three kinds of integration practices, the book argues that the paradigm of integration navigates between universalist claims and particularistic— racial and religious—reenactments of a secular nation-state framework at moments in which this very framework is crumbling

In this book, Mu-chou Poo considers this question, and provides a new perspective on archaeological materials, including tomb structures and funerary texts, by addressing them in the context of universal human problems such as death, the future of the dead, and the search for happiness in life

The Study of Greek and Roman Religions

Insularity and Assimilation

Nickolas P. Roubekas, University of Vienna, Austria

This book argues that there is a disciplinary gap between the study of Greek and Roman religions and the study of “religion” as a category—a gap that has often resulted in contradictory conclusions regarding Graeco-Roman religion This book provides a theoretical approach to this historical period, raising the issue of the relationship between “theory of religion” and “history of religion”, and explores how history influences theory. It also presents an in-depth critique of some crucial problems that have been central to the discussions of scholars who work on Graeco-Roman antiquity, and offers solutions that may lead to a more scientific study of Graeco-Roman religions.
