Syncretism – the synthesis of different religious – is a contentious word. Some regard it as a pejorative term, referring to local versions of notionally standard `world religions” which are deemed `inauthentic” because saturated with indigenous content. Syncretic versions of Christianity do not conform to `official” (read `European”) models. In other contexts however, the syncretic amalgamation of religions may be validated as a mode of resistance to colonial hegemony, a sign of cultural survival, or as a means of authorising political dominance in a multicultural state.
In
Syncretism/Anti-Syncretism the contributors explore the issues of agency and power which are integral to the very process of syncretism and to the competing discourses surrounding the term.
