What role has religion played in social protest movements? This
important book examines how activists have used religious resources
such as liturgy, prayer, song and vestments with a focus on the
following global case studies: The mid-twentieth century US civil
rights movement. The late twentieth century antiabortion movement
in the United States of America. The early twenty-first century
water protectors' movement at Standing Rock, North Dakota. Indian
independence led by Mohandas Gandhi in the early 1930s. The Polish
Solidarity movement of the 1980s. The South African anti-apartheid
movement of the 1980s and 1990s. Prayer as a sacred act is usually
associated with piety and pacifism; however, it can be argued that
those who pray in public while protesting are more likely to
encounter violence. Drawing on journalistic accounts, participant
reflections, and secondary literature, Religion and Social Protest
Movements offers both historical and theoretical perspectives on
the persistent correlation of the use of public prayer with an
increase in conflict and violence. This book is an important read
for students and researchers in history and religious studies, and
those in related fields such as sociology, African-American
studies, and Native American studies.
