«Las políticas de Dios» is a collective essay coordinated by Gilles Kepel, published by Anaya & Mario Muchnik in paperback (363 pages, in Spanish).
The work examines what religious movements that emerged after the fall of communism pursue, from large postmodern cities to countries of the Global South, and who their actors are. It addresses the real impact of Islamic, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Jewish and Hindu activists and what brings them together or sets them apart in the public sphere.
Translation by Manuel Serrat Crespo of the French original «Les politiques de Dieu», originally published in 1993. First Spanish edition in 1995.
For readers of sociological and political essays who want to understand the role of contemporary religious movements after the end of communism.
