...this work is an important and unique contribution to the literature on the confluence of race and religion, which has been growing as scholars increasingly merge the interests of religious studies and race studies. This handbook adds to this growing body of scholarship by providing a timely commentary that succeeds in readability and in its scope and chronology. This handbook would prove helpful for undergraduate classes taught on the subject and scholars interested in tracing these concepts across time.
