Global Trends in Religion and the Reaffirmation of Hindu Identity in Bali: Working Paper 130

by Thomas Anton Reuter

This working paper explores three characteristic forms of post-modern religiosity that have emerged as broad international trends from the 1960s onwards â?? revitalization, New Age spirituality, and fundamentalism. It focuses on the worldwide proliferation of social movements for the revitalization of local religions, illustrated with an ethnographic case study on the revival of identity among Balinese Hindus in the aftermath of the 2002 bomb attack by Muslim extremists.
