Relation and Resistance explores the stories and lives of racialized women connected with religious diaspora communities in Canada. Contributors from across disciplines show how women are conceptualizing traditions in transformative ways, challenging prevailing assumptions about diasporic religion as nostalgically entrenched in the past. The collected essays include chapters on feminist and queer women thinking critically about Hindu and Muslim identities and beliefs and challenging anti-Black racism and settler colonialism; Afro-Caribbean and Metis writers using literature to explore religion and belonging; the impact of women's participation in Japanese, Chinese, and Pakistani transnational religious organizations; and marriage, migration, and gender equality in the Punjabi Sikh and Malayali Christian communities. The volume closes with a chapter exploring Metis diasporic experience and inviting readers to think critically about diasporic religion on Indigenous land.
An innovative and timely volume, Relation and Resistance reveals that a deeper understanding of women's experiences of displacement, migration, race, and gender is critical to the study of religion in Canada.
Reviews / Votes
"Relation and Resistance is a compelling addition to the fields of gender, religious, and diaspora studies, with an impressive range of scholars featured, and each chapter making a collaborative and sustained contribution to the topic under discussion." Ayesha Chaudhry, University of British Columbia and author of The Colour of God "Krishnamurti and Lee's timely contribution to the fields of diaspora studies, religious studies, and transnational Canadian studies opens up conversations about the intersections of race, religion, and diaspora. The work allows for a new framing of diaspora as a shifting and expansive category to open up new possibilities of understanding racialized communities across Canada."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
