‘My Name is Legion’: Sources and Forces of White Supremacy in the U.S.

By R. Drew Smith

…of rank-and-file white supremacists. The emergence of many of these groups paralleled the galvanization of desegregationist and anti-racist forces from the mid-century forward. A group regarded by advocates and critics alike as the ideological backbone of the contemporary white supremacist movement is “Christian Identity,” which asserts “White, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred people [are] God’s true, literal Children of Israel” and that all non-…

Besides a Love of Chinese Food on Christmas, Why “JewAsian” Unions Work

By Helen Kiyong Kim and Noah Samuel Leavitt

…question this summer. We have a desire to extend this project in one of several ways. We could: revisit the families we interviewed in five years and see what they think of the questions we asked them for JewAsian, do an international comparative study of JewAsian households in a variety of countries (the U.S., England, Israel, and Japan are on the top of that list), or look at other racially-mixed Jewish households inside the US in a similar way…

The Woody Allen Problem: How Do We Read Pacifist Theologian (and Sexual Abuser) John Howard Yoder?

By Stephanie Krehbiel

…in suffered by women, when that pain can be blamed upon the prior patriarchal tilt of our society…There should be room, logically, for the objection that beneficent patriarchal care, properly understood and benevolently exercised, would not be harmful; that what has hurt women has been the violation, not the implementation, of proper fatherly caring. This excuse would however not change the retaliatory dynamics, since the root of the power of the…

By Peter Montgomery

…ially-commissioned rings bearing the phrase “until we all belong” – which will also appear on Qantas boarding passes and other paraphernalia. The ring is incomplete, representing the “gap” in equality between same-sex couples and their heterosexual peers. In a series of video advertisements, straight allies are encouraged to wear the rings “until we all belong”. Senator Eric Abetz, described by the Morning Herald as “arch-conservative” attacked th…

“My Scientology Movie” Pokes the Hornet’s Nest

By Gordon Haber

…seriously, a strategy that helps them to avoid seeming smug and superior while allowing the audience to feel exactly that. The fringe group this time, obviously, is Scientology. The conceit of My Scientology Movie is that because Theroux couldn’t get anyone from the church to talk to him, he decides to investigate “the spirit of Scientology” by hiring actors to re-enact moments from church history, most notably the violent tirades of its current l…

The Evangelical “Plummet” from Francis Schaeffer to Glenn Beck

By Sarah Posner

…necessity, been nuanced enough to put us sometimes at odds with our political allies), we’ve relied on populist God-and-country sloganeering and outrage-generating talking heads. We’ve tolerated heresy and buffoonery in our leadership as long as with it there is sufficient political “conservatism” and a sufficient commercial venue to sell our books and products. That’s a harsh indictment not just of Beck, but of the religious right environment tha…

Where Trump and Climate Deniers Seem Very Far Away: COP22 in Marrakech

By Donna Schaper

…n kind of world. As usual my expectations were turned upside down. No one will talk to you unless you assure them very quickly that you did not vote for “him.” Every third protest sign exasperates about Trump and the climate deniers. The main message is that Africa is no longer destitute but is instead cutting edge, both economically and environmentally, and ready to provide leadership to a top-down world. “Please don’t come here to solve our pove…

…ebsites and sites such as everipedia have linked Spirit Cooking with a ritual called “Cakes of Light,” from the religion of Thelema, founded by Alistair Crowley, in which honey, oil, menstrual blood and sperm are used. Wikileaks tweeted: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/794450623404113920 Linking the occult, Satan worship, and New World Order to the American Presidency and political realm, have been simmering below the mainstream within the ma…

Politics in a Fallen World: Lying, Fact-Checkers, and the Future of Civilization

By Michael Schulson

…ying differ in royal courts and other political spaces? How strong are the parallels between the court and, say, Washington, D.C.? [laughs] There’s part of me that is ahistorical about this: I suspect the standard operating procedure in politics, from the beginning until the present, is essentially the kinds of things courtiers were writing about already in the Middle Ages: you have to begin with the assumption that everybody’s trying to deceive y…

Before Black Twitter: How the Early Black Press Shaped American Discourse Around Race and Religion

By Benjamin P. Fagan

…of a renaissance right now, with a number of books, conferences, and journal special issues devoted to the topic emerging in the past few years. So it could seem (and some have claimed) that this is a newly invented field. But this is not at all the case. My book depends upon the work of pioneering scholars who have sometimes been ignored in the rush to stake “new” academic territory. I wrote The Black Press and the Chosen Nation with these schol…
