Reviews

Religion, Secularism, and Political Belonging attends to transnational particularities as a way to address global realities. The book brings together teams of scholars working in different geographic areas and developing their analyses through engagement with each other and the world. Starting from the multiplicity of secularisms and the entanglement of secularism, religion, and political belonging, they build connections between the politics of critique and the ethics of care.”

-- Janet R. Jakobsen, Claire Tow Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University

“Leerom Medovoi and Elizabeth Bentley have put together a rich comparative volume on the complexities of religion and secularism that indicates the range and varieties of both as well as the intense interactions between them in different national and global contexts. This compelling and unique collection will be taken up by many readers concerned with questions of religion, the secular, and the political.”

-- David Theo Goldberg, author of Are We All Postracial Yet?

"For the student and scholar of secularisms, Religion, Secularism, & Political Belonging provides a worthwhile and useful selection of content and conversation partners. . . . A book of this nature cannot be comprehensive; it is a beginning to further conversations. It can, however, be provocative and insightful. . . . It is a good thing to read a book on such a heady topic and come away interested and ready for more."

-- Zachariah S. Motts Religion
