Baha'i and Globalisation

Globalisation has become a buzzword that typically refers to the intensifying integration of the world economy, especially as midwifed by technological advances. It also implies a growing political and cultural sense that all humanity is globally interdependent. There have always been individuals of course who have advocated such awareness, one of them being the founder of the Baha'i faith, who formulated a spiritual equivalent as the religion's central doctrine in the late 19th century: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Its emphasis on global unification made Baha'i an obvious candidate for a case study on new religions and globalisation. The chapters in this volume fall into two sections, diachronic and synchronic. The first part is organised chronologically, beginning with the emergence of the globalist tendency in the messianic vision of Babism, the precursor to Baha'i, and concluding with an analytic history of its leaders' changing attitudes to international politics. The second part considers a variety of global themes in contemporary Baha'i practice, including global thought in Baha'i writings, the impact of the internet, and the triumphalist and secular strains in Baha'i identity. Though five million members make it one of the world's most successful new religions, Baha'i has attracted little scholarly attention. Most of the academics concentrating on Baha'i have contributed to this volume, which will appeal not only to students of modern religious movements, but to anyone interested in the ways religions can adapt to - and embrace - the modern world.

America is a nation of immigrants, a melting pot of cultures, and a beacon of hope for those seeking a better life. Throughout its history, the United States has been shaped by the diverse identities of its people, from the indigenous tribes who first called this land home to the waves of immigrants who have arrived from every corner of the globe. In this book, we explore the many facets of American identity, examining the historical roots of American pluralism, the role of immigration in shaping American culture, and the challenges and opportunities of living in a diverse society. We also consider the impact of technology, globalization, and politics on American identity. Through this exploration, we come to a deeper understanding of what it means to be an American in the 21st century. We see that American identity is not a fixed or static concept, but rather a fluid and dynamic one, constantly evolving and adapting to the changing circumstances of the times. We also see that American identity is not a zero-sum game, where one identity can only be gained at the expense of another. On the contrary, American identity is a mosaic, a beautiful and intricate design made up of many different pieces. Each piece is unique and valuable, and together they form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. This book is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing conversation about American identity. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complex and ever-changing nature of American society. **Key Features:** * Explores the historical roots of American pluralism * Examines the role of immigration in shaping American culture * Considers the impact of technology, globalization, and politics on American identity * Offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be an American in the 21st century * Written in an engaging and accessible style **Target Audience:** * Academics and students studying American history, sociology, and cultural studies * Policymakers and community leaders working on issues of diversity and inclusion * General readers interested in understanding American identity and culture If you like this book, write a review!
