Reviews
Kate McCarthy-Gilmore:
‘This text is successful in establishing an expanse of study and interrogation for scholars of religion, the Atlantic, and gender by pushing them to create new interdisciplinary realms that further explore the intricacies of daily and Atlantic-wide experiences in this era.’
