Abstract
This special forum asks: How is postsecularism shaped by the politics and philosophies of religion, secularism, and postcolonialism? How are the enabling possibilities of postsecularism, combining religion and secularism, explored by writers from the Global South—Africa, Asia, Latin America? Addressing these and other questions, the scholars in this forum examine postcolonial postsecularism across literature, history, criticism, and theory. They study Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism. They analyze literary genres and devices that include novels, poetry, scripture, epigraphs, intertexts, and internet fantasy fiction. They critique the work of writers from Algeria, Chile, China, India and its diaspora, Mexico, Tunisia, and Turkey.
