Religious Identity and Social Change

Religious Identity and Social Change offers a macro- and micro-analysis of the dynamics of rapid social and religious change occurring within the Muslim world. Drawing on rich ethnographic and quantitative research in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, David Radford provides a rich theoretical insight into the nature of religious and social change and ethnic identity transformation, exploring significant questions about why people convert and what happens when they do so. A crisis of identity occurs when religious conversion takes place, especially from one major religious tradition (Islam) to another (Christianity), and where religious identity is intimately connected with ethnic and national identity. Radford argues that it is important to recognise the socially constructed nature of identity involving the dynamic interplay between human agency, culture and social networks. Kyrgyz Christians have been active agents in bringing about religious and identity transformation, building on the contextual parameters in which they are situated.

David Radford is Senior Research Fellow at the Hawke Research Institute, where he is Lecturer in the Division of Education, Arts and Social Sciences at the University of South Australia.
