«Mitchem proposes an impressive and comprehensive socio-historical analysis informed by critical race and feminist theories of the intersections of religion, race, and politics in the United States.»
Rosemary P. Carbine, Whittier College
«In the continuing debacle of white supremacy power practices characterizing life in this country, there is perhaps no greater need than a continuing exposé of the inter-workings of race-politics-religion in their convoluted warping of social reality. Stephanie Mitchem’s new book engages that task with verve and nuance, clearing the air of misconception, while mapping the landscape of complex historical encounters necessary to understand our current struggle. Juggling, as she has, the categories of race, religion, and politics in their recombinant articulations is a service to both academy and society that demands a wide hearing and deep pondering.»

«While many have worked to identify complicated interrelations of religion and race or politics and race, bringing the three into intersectional analysis leads to powerful insights for those engaged in efforts to bring systemic change.»
