Reviews

This collection of fifteen essays probes the relationship of secularism, religion, and majoritarian power, highlighting the internal heterogeneities and unevenness of experiences of citizens. Grounding the work of democracy historically, this volume evocatively argues that perilous democracy is the reality of India, Pakistan, and Turkey. * Yasmin Saikia, Professor of History and Hardt-Nickachos Chair in Peace Studies, Arizona State University *
