{"product_id":"9781526113764","title":"The Religion of Orange Politics : Protestantism and Fraternity in Contemporary Scotland by Joseph Webster","description":"The religion of Orange politics offers an in-depth anthropological account of the Orange Order in Scotland. Based on ethnographic research collected before, during, and after the Scottish independence referendum, Joseph Webster details how Scotland's largest Protestant-only fraternity shapes the lives of its members and the communities in which they live. Within this Masonic-inspired 'society with secrets', Scottish Orangemen learn how transform themselves and their fellow brethren into what they regard to be ideal British citizens. It is from this ethnographic context - framed by ritual initiations, loyalist marches, fraternal drinking, and constitutional campaigning - that the key questions of the book emerge: What is the relationship between fraternal love and sectarian hate? Can religiously motivated bigotry and exclusion be part of human experiences of `The Good?' What does it mean to claim that one's religious community is utterly exceptional - a literal `race apart'? -- .\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302757839221,"sku":"9781526113764","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781526113764.jpg?v=1762793204","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781526113764","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
