This book examines race, religion, and politics in the United States, illuminating their intersections and what they reveal about power and privilege. Drawing on both historic and recent examples, Stephanie Mitchem introduces readers to the ways race has been constructed in the United States, discusses how race and religion influence each other, and assesses how they shape political influence. Mitchem concludes with a chapter looking toward possibilities for increased rights and justice for all.
Mitchem proposes an impressive and comprehensive socio-historical analysis informed by critical race and feminist theories of the intersections of religion, race, and politics in the United States. -- Rosemary P. Carbine, Whittier College
In the continuing debacle of white supremacy power practices characterizing life in this country, there is perhaps no greater need than a continuing exposé of the inter-workings of race-politics-religion in their convoluted warping of social reality. Stephanie Mitchem’s new book engages that task with verve and nuance, clearing the air of misconception, while mapping the landscape of complex historical encounters necessary to understand our current struggle. Juggling, as she has, the categories of race, religion, and politics in their recombinant articulations is a service to both academy and society that demands a wide hearing and deep pondering. -- James W. Perkinson, Oakland University
