Clothing, dress, and ornamentation are crucial parts of individual
and communal religious life and practice, yet they are too often
overlooked. This book convenes leading scholars to explore the
roles of attire and adornment in the creation and communication of
religious meaning, identity, and community. Contributors
investigate aspects of religious dress in North America in the
nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, considering
adornment practices in a wide range of religious traditions and
among individuals who straddle religious boundaries. The collection
is organized around four frameworks for understanding the material
culture of religion: theological interpretation, identity
formation, negotiation of tradition, and activism. Religion,
Attire, and Adornment in North America features essays on topics
such as Black Israelites' use of African fabrics, Christian
religious tattoos, Wiccan ritual nudity, Amish "plain dress,"
Mormon sacred garments, Hare Krishna robes, and the Church of Body
Modification. Spanning the diversity of religious practice and
expression, this book is suitable for a range of undergraduate
courses and offers new insights for scholars in many disciplines.
