Reviews
Nora Rubel, author of Doubting the Devout: The Ultra-Orthodox in the Jewish American Imagination:
Religion, Attire, and Adornment in North America addresses the relationship between religion and dress in America and the ways that religious practitioners make meaning through their sartorial choices. Its chapters are accessibly written and their breadth is impressive; scholars of American religions, new religious movements, gender studies, and material culture will appreciate this volume.
