Henry Goldschmidt and Elizabeth McAlister, editors. Race, Nation, and Religion in the Americas. New York: Oxford University Press. 2004. Pp. xiii, 338. Cloth, $74.00, paper $24.95.

This collection of intriguing and provocative essays is a successful outgrowth of two recent conference panels in anthropology and religious studies, respectively. The chapters, all based on solid historical and/or anthropological case studies, commonly center on race and religion in the Americas, but they deal with differing topics in the historically and geographically diverse times and spaces of the Americas, including the Spanish Floridas, Haiti, Brazil, and Mexico. By bringing such varying topics into a single collection, editors Henry Goldschmidt and Elizabeth McAlister, both scholars of religion, do an excellent job in "exploring the coarticulation of race, nation, and religion—and more broadly, to develop a theoretical and methodological understanding of the complex ways such categories intersect in the construction of collective identity, difference, and hierarchy" (p. 5), while acknowledging that this is "[a]n ambitious project" (p. 21).
