Book Description
"Rushdy's close reading is invaluable, particularly to scholars of religion for whom the presence of the past is taken for granted, and his clear discussion of controversies surrounding concepts of race and the legacy of slavery is an excellent introduction to the vast and growing literature on essentialism, the construction of 'whiteness,' apology, and reparation."-- Religious Studies Review
