Reviews
With Race and New Religious Movements in the USA, Clark and Stoddard have produced a novel and accessible documentary reader. * Nova Religio * Featuring texts as varied as scriptures, prayers, sermons, treatises, newspaper columns, legal decisions, and FBI surveillance files, this rich collection offers invaluable insight into the significance of race in the theologies and practices of new religious movements in U.S. history. * Judith Weisenfeld, Professor of Religion, Princeton University, USA * This is a fascinating trove of primary sources from movements that are either little known or understudied. Taken together, these documents reveal a nation where the idea of racial difference is being endlessly re-examined by the religious imagination. * Joseph P. Laycock, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Texas State University, USA * This documentary reader deftly reveals the role of the production and maintenance of religious-racial categories within the long history of new and alternative American religiosity. It highlights the diversity of this process across time periods, regions, and ethnic groups. It is a welcome resource. * Benjamin E. Zeller, Associate Professor of Religion, Lake Forest College, USA *
