| Summary: | This book is an exploration of the tensions within both the American nation and the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago between pluralist aspirations and unexamined ethnocentric realities. Richard Hughes Seagar, who teaches at Hamilton College, does not claim to provide a complete account of the Parliament, but rather focuses intentionally on the dynamics of these tensions. He begins by limning what he calls the “Columbian myth” embodied materially and ideologically in the World's Columbian Exposition, of which the Parliament was the culmination of that event's Department of Religion. |
