Feminist theory has enhanced and expanded the agency, influence,
status and contributions of women throughout the globe. However,
feminist critical analysis has not yet examined how the assumption
that religion is natural, timeless, universal and omnipresent
supports sexist and race-based oppression. This book proposes
radical new thinking about religion in order to better comprehend
and confront the systematic disempowerment of women and
marginalized groups. Utilising feminist and post-colonial analysis
of access, equity and violence, contributors draw on recent
critical theory to collapse accepted boundaries between religion
and secularity with the aim of understanding that religion is a
technology of governance in its function, meaning and history. The
volume includes case studies focusing on how the category of
religion is deployed to perpetuate male hegemony and racist
inequities in Australia, Mexico, the United States, Britain and
Canada. This trenchant feminist critique and academic analysis will
be of key interest to scholars and students of Religion, Sociology,
Political Science and Gender Studies.
