By Rumya Putcha

…As a whole, this exchange indicates that, for those of us who study modern South Asia and its diasporas, we still have a long way to go when it comes to effectively discussing how, after September 11, 2001 and rising to a fever pitch under the anti-immigration Trump administration, Brown South Asian bodies experience racism in ways that stand apart from the well-documented forms of systemic injustice that fall under the category of “Anti-Black” in…

The Devil’s Music: How Christians Inspired, Condemned, and Embraced Rock ‘n’ Roll

By Eric C. Miller

…on the American South, I looked at the white Southern Baptist Convention, Southern Presbyterians, and Southern Pentecostals, and found that their reaction to rock was almost uniformly negative and very often racialized. They attacked rock as “jungle music,” “congo rhythms,” and “savagery.” In some cases this is ironic because these are some of the very things that Pentecostals were criticized for themselves—for race mixing and having “debased” mu…

Islamophobia and Racism: Civil Rights at the Breaking Point

By Erik Love

…ights advocates to even make the simple point that Arab, Muslim, Sikh, and South Asian Americans should not face discrimination. Even as advocates have tirelessly worked to push back against Islamophobia, they have witnessed the constant expansion of deeply harmful anti-immigrant policies and practices, mainly through so-called national security programs. The laws and systems set up in the 1960s to protect communities from racism have not been nea…

Bishops Rile Up the Religious Right, Then and Now

By Patricia Miller

…. Gerald Ford needed to hold on to that vote to offset his weakness in the South. Jimmy Carter was thought to have a “Catholic problem” as born-again Southern Baptist. Both, as I noted, ended up shamelessly courting the Catholic bishops: Americans were treated to the spectacle of both presidential candidates—neither of them Catholic—genuflecting before the bishops for their benediction. It was a lost cause for Carter given the Democratic Party’s o…

Upon his return to what was left of Cheniere Caminada, he discovered that his parents and brother had died along with 800 other residents. Those who survived the flood moved “up the bayou” (as they still say in Lafourche Parish) to towns like Leeville and Golden Meadow. Today, what remains of Cheniere Caminada is a historic marke…

Bobby Jindal Hypes His Christian Cred at Liberty U.

By Murali Balaji

…indus from the Indian subcontinent (and a smattering from the West Indies, South Africa, and the Asian Pacific) began to settle in the United States. Though the community slowly established itself in cities such as New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston and Chicago, the reality for many Hindu immigrants—and their children—was that they were alone in a new country without much of a support network. My story is somewhat similar to Jindal’s. I…

Drivers in South Carolina may soon be able to put their faith where their plate is with a new “I Believe” licence plate featuring three crosses. A Hindu woman in Illinois has been fighting the City of Evanston over the chopping down of a tree next to her property. The woman’s belief in ahimsa, or nonviolence, prevented her from having anything to do with the felling of the living tree…

Will the Religious Side with Workers?

By Peter Laarman

…shut down unionized workplaces and ship the work to the non-union American South or to the Global South, took their predictable devastating toll on private-sector unionism. Surging public sector unionism during this same period saved the American labor movement from complete collapse. But now these public sector unions are also under the gun in a big way. So my question persists: Where were the vast majority of American religious leaders during th…
