The religion of Orange politics offers an in-depth anthropological
account of the Orange Order in Scotland. Based on ethnographic
research collected before, during, and after the Scottish
independence referendum, Joseph Webster details how Scotland's
largest Protestant-only fraternity shapes the lives of its members
and the communities in which they live. Within this
Masonic-inspired 'society with secrets', Scottish Orangemen learn
how transform themselves and their fellow brethren into what they
regard to be ideal British citizens. It is from this ethnographic
context - framed by ritual initiations, loyalist marches, fraternal
drinking, and constitutional campaigning - that the key questions
of the book emerge: What is the relationship between fraternal love
and sectarian hate? Can religiously motivated bigotry and exclusion
be part of human experiences of 'The Good?' What does it mean to
claim that one's religious community is utterly exceptional - a
literal 'race apart'? -- .
