The pioneering essays collected in this volume bring critical new
perspectives to the interdisciplinary study of racial, national,
and religious identities. The authors demonstrate that one cannot
study these categories of identity formation in isolation, but must
instead examine the ways each intersects with-and ultimately helps
construct-the others. This innovative theoretical perspective sheds
new light on the role of religion in shaping the lives of diverse
communities throughout the Americas and forces us to reevaluate the
reductive opposition between secular and religious identities. The
twelve essays in the volume explore the ties between race, nation,
and religion in ethnographic and historical detail. Topics range
from Jesuit mission work to Hollywood film, manifest destiny to
liberation theology, the Haitian Rara festival to American
immigration law. In these and other contexts, the authors explore
the intertwined histories of a hemisphere defined at the charged
intersections of race, nation, and religion.
