Lift High the Cross

Where White Supremacy and the Christian Right Converge

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""Lift High the Cross" teaches scholars, activists, and a popular audience the all-important historical background and differences among various groups on the Right, but just as importantly, it also teaches a way of performing politics that demands both activism and thinking. This sophisticated discussion of politics, religion, and religious narratives could not be more timely, in particular because the activist left has had such a hard time grappling with religion."--Linda Kintz, author of "Between Jesus and the Market: The Emotions that Matter in Right-Wing America"
