Reviews

"Dessi’s volume constitutes an indispensable reference that is already bearing fruit (see the recent contributions in Amstutz and Dessi 2014)." - Girardo Rodriguez Plasencia Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University"Dessi’s solid grounding in the Japanese-language scholarship on religion and globalization in Japan, such as by Inoue Nobutaka and Shimazono Susumu, together with his careful incorporation of works by Western scholars of globalization offer an insightful bridge between English-language and Japanese-language scholarship on religion and globalization. Altogether, this book is an excellent introduction to theories of religion and globalization from both Japanese and non-Japanese perspectives and offers the reader a broad window into the various institutional dynamics that shape the ways Japanese religions are articulated with and active agents within global discourses." - Isaac Gagné, Waseda University, Japan
