Project Underway             Religion, Race, and American Ideas of Freedom: From the 17th Century to the Present (advance contract signed with Yale University Press).

This work will explore the long and complex relationship between the struggle for human and civil rights in American history, the legacy of race and racism, and the complicated role of religious institutions and religiously–motivated individuals in this struggle. In struggling to worship freely, create religious institutions, practice rites and customs handed down from tradition, and appeal to God as the author and guarantor of equality, Americans of diverse ethnic backgrounds have challenged and redefined the fundamental bases of citizenship.
