Religion, Populism, and Modernity

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This audacious volume offers an original and multisited perspective into the entanglements between whiteness, populism, Christianity, nationalism and secularism. By weaving threads throughout phenomena as diverse as Trumpism in the US, philosemitism in Poland or the far-right resistance to the ecological crisis, it compels us to critically address how race and coloniality are reenacted in complex and unexpected ways." -Nadia Fadil, author of Tegen Radicalisering

"Religion, Populism, and Modernity offers a multidisciplinary and contextually rich comparative study that moves the conversation beyond a priori assumptions and equips the reader with insights for better understanding the complexities that create and sustain White Christian nationalisms today." -John A. Rees, author of Religion in International Politics and Development

"At once granular and general, this thought-provoking compilation explores how the logic of White Christian nationalism operates in American and European politics today, sometimes hidden and sometimes hidden in plain sight. All too often, scholars of religion shy away from asking and answering normative questions-here they don't." -Ulrich Schmiedel, author of Terror und Theologie

"A useful collection of chapters by a group of very accomplished scholars. Each presents an authoritative account of their topic." - Party Politics

"[T]his volume is essential for scholars and students of religious studies and public policy seeking additional context that informs the seemingly unprecedented times in which we live, theorize, and work." -The Journal of Interreligious Studies

"Scholars who are interested in the linkages between religion and far right politics . . . will find the book provocative." -Choice

"The Right is back and here to stay. Those of us who oppose its ambitions need to learn how to confront it effectively. In this vital task, volumes like Religion, Populism, and Modernity are to be welcomed. -*Journal of Church and *State**
