Drawing on scholarship from an array of disciplines, this volume provides a
deep and timely look at the intertwining of race and religion in American politics. The contributors
apply the methods of intersectionality, but where this approach has typically considered race,
class, and gender, the essays collected here focus on religion, too, to offer a theoretically robust
conceptualization of how these elements intersect--and how they are actively impacting the
political process. ContributorsAntony W.
