Abstract:Judith Weisenfeld’s New World A-Coming pushes the field to rethink its approach to religion and race. To achieve this, she centralizes groups typically relegated to the margins of African American religions, tracks those groups thematically rather than chronologically, and offers the field the concept of “religio-racial” identities.
