American Examples, Vol 4: New Conversations about Religion

Case studies that vividly reimagine the meaning and applications of American religious history 

American Examples: New Conversations about Religion, Volume Four, continues the annual anthology series produced by the American Examples workshop at the University of Alabama’s Department of Religious Studies. The goal of American Examples is to examine examples of “something someone called religious, somewhere someone called America” by asking theoretical questions that exceed the boundaries of American religion or American religious history. This volume features seven essays exploring examples ranging from American Muslim headwear to online pickup artists to the connections between Dutch immigrants and Japanese students. This collection offers valuable insights for scholars and students within and beyond the field of American religious history.
