The Routledge Handbook of Religion and American Culture explains where religion is made in the United States. It offers essays profiling cultural sites, including energy, industry, public life, music, arts and entertainment, and life and death. These sites organize the volume’s 31 chapters, demonstrating how cultural religion has been constructed and performed in specific historical and ethnographic case studies. This volume offers a much-needed resource for Religious Studies scholars and students interested in the study of religion and culture in the United States, as well as those in American Studies, Anthropology of Religion, Sociology of Religion, Material Culture Studies, Environmental Studies, and History.

Recensioner i media

“In this new contribution, Seales presents an impressive 31 essays from interested authors on the subject…each of which offers insights into how cultural religion has been constructed and performed in the United States taking up themes of caste, corporatism, and capitalism as well as themes of race, gender, class, sexuality, social movements, and organizational forms of control and resistance. Religion is understood here from a material and cultural perspective, shifting away from the focus on churches, denominations, or official religions, to examine how religion manifests itself in everyday cultural life…This volume is well structured and a welcome contribution to the study of religion regarding American culture.”- Michal Saidl, Masaryk University, Brno in Religious Studies Review, Vol. 51 No. 4 (Dec 2025)
