Super Cheap - Race, Nation and Religion in America

A collection of essays exploring race and religion in America. Amazon has the following product description:

This collection of all new essays will explore the complex and unstable articulations of race and religion that have helped to produce "Black," "White," "Creole," "Indian," "Asian," and other racialized identities and communities in the Americas. Drawing on original research in a range of disciplines, the authors will investigate: 1) how the intertwined categories of race and religion have defined, and been defined by, global relations of power and inequality; 2) how racial and religious identities shape the everyday lives of individuals and communities; and 3) how racialized and marginalized communities use religion and religious discourses to contest the persistent power of racism in societies structured by inequality.

Taken together, these essays will define a new standard of critical conversation on race and religion throughout the Americas.

Edited by Henry Goldschmidt and Elizabeth McAlister, Race, Nation, and Religion in the Americas is available today for only $1.86.
