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-Syncretismthe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44570198376686,"sku":"9780415111171","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415111171.jpg?v=1704129089","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/syncretism-anti-syncretism-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
