Represents some of the best, cutting-edge thinking available on
multiple forms of social upheaval and related grassroots movements.
From the January 2017 Women's March to the August 2017 events in
Charlottesville and the 2020 protests for racial justice in the
wake of George Floyd's murder, social upheaval and protest have
loomed large in the United States in recent years. The varied,
sometimes conflicting role of religious believers, communities, and
institutions in such events and movements calls for scholarly
analysis. Arising from a conference held at the College of the Holy
Cross in November 2017, Religion, Protest, and Social Upheaval
gathers contributions from ten scholars in religious studies,
theology and ethics, and gender studies-from seasoned experts to
emerging voices-to illuminate this tumultuous era of history and
the complex landscape of social action for economic, racial,
political, and sexual and gender justice. The contributors consider
the history of resistance to racial capitalist imperialism from W.
E. B. Du Bois to today; the theological genealogy of the capitalist
economic order, and Catholic theology's growing concern with
climate change; affect theory and the rise of white nationalism,
theological aesthetics, and solidarity with migrants; differing
U.S. Christian churches' responses to the "revolutionary
aesthetics" of the Black Lives Matter movement; Muslim migration
and the postsecular character of Muslim labor organizing in the
United States; shifts in moral reasoning and religiosity among U.S.
women's movements from the 1960s to today; and the intersection of
heresy discourse and struggles for LGBTQ+ equality among Korean and
Korean-American Protestants. With this pluralistic approach,
Religion, Protest, and Social Upheaval offers a snapshot of
scholarly religious responses to the crises and promises of the
late 2010s and early 2020s. Representing the diverse coalitions of
the religious left, it provides groundbreaking analysis, charts
trajectories for further study and action, and offers visions for a
more hopeful future.

A lavishly illustrated overview of contemporary Korean art that
offers new insight into the country’s tumultuous modern history
and its multifaceted and vibrant art scene Focusing on the work of
33 artists, this volume examines the ways contemporary Korean art
reflects the dynamic changes in the country following the 1980
Gwangju Uprising and 1988 Seoul Olympics, when a newly democratic
South Korea opened up to the rest of the world and quickly became a
key player, both economically and culturally, on the global stage.
Among the works featured are complex installations by Do Ho Suh and
siren eun young jung; sculptures made from disparate materials by
Yeesookyung; embroideries that engage with fraught political issues
via covert transactions with embroiderers in North Korea by Kyungah
Ham; and paintings of contemporary pop figures made using
traditional East Asian techniques by Donghyun Son. Essays by a
diverse group of scholars position the works in their historical
and sociopolitical contexts within the accelerated timeline—and
resulting compression of past, present, and future—of what has
been called Korea’s long twenty-first century. With artist
biographies, an illustrated chronology, and a selected
bibliography, this study is the first English-language presentation
of this material and is a significant contribution to the
interpretation and understanding of contemporary Korean art and
culture. Â Distributed for the Philadelphia Museum of Art
