Postcolonialism, Religion, and Literature
book by Manav Ratti
The Postsecular Imagination traces how postsecularism emerges from the strengths and limits of religion and secularism. It asks how faith, wonder, enchantment, and ethical life can take form in secular orders designed to avert religiously fueled violence, civil war, partition, and majoritarianism.
Working across literary, postcolonial, diasporic, and South Asian lenses, Ratti reads Shauna Singh Baldwin, Mahasweta Devi, Amitav Ghosh, Michael Ondaatje, Salman Rushdie, and Allan Sealy.
Engaging core debates in secularism and religion, the book reveals the risk, courage, and experimentation that animate a radical postsecular imagination.
