However, these noble aims are restricted by the racial homogeneity of the spaces in which they crystalise, and Lucia warns that any communities that arise from these spaces risk becoming ‘a gated commons, reifying rather than dissolving social boundaries’, with access by nonwhites implicitly restricted (212). Lucia succeeds in answering her central question of why SBNR communities are overwhelmingly white butWhite Utopias does far more than that. It is a thorough investigation of the intersection of neoliberalism, capitalist consumerism, exoticism and spirituality at the nexus of yoga practice. It gives a powerful picture of the potency of yoga practice, and of the transformational festivals that foster it. The book is important as an exploration of racialised power dynamics in the transformational festival scene but it also convincingly advocates for taking seriously practices and belief systems identified, and sometimes dismissed, as SBNR or ‘New Age,’ because of the importance they play in the lives of practitioners. The implications for further research are extensive: particularly, are these same dynamics borne out in yoga practised beyond the restrictive and literally ‘extra-ordinary’ context of the transformational festival? Most yoga is, after all, not practised in that saturnalian context, and such festivals are arguably unrepresentative of the experience of most practitioners. It is possible that it is the focus on the melting pot context of transformational festivals that fosters a unified impression of the category SBNR, as discussed above. In any case, Lucia’s work brings an important and timely perspective on the racialised power dynamics of SBNR communities to the study of contemporary yoga. Future research must take it into account.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"589 - 592"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45704187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beekers convincingly shows how doubt, like imperfection, functions as a trope that can vitalize and invigorate an individual’s commitment and lead to the search for reaffirmation in pedagogical contexts. One would be remiss in overlooking the in-depth remarks on interview and focus-group evaluation methods. The book proceeds by illustrating, differentiating, and opposing the findings to present research positions with citations from the interviews, a focus group meeting, and field notes of sceneries and performances. The decision to take this approach and the comparison between the two devotee groups that runs through every chapter not only make a very readable book, but also a book that gives a solid insight of emic discourses as well as an excellent overview of connecting discourses within the field of religion and youth research. At the same time, this methodological decision to embed the research into a prefigured research discourse of late modernity theories instead of a more grounded approach potentially obscures developments within that generation. Acceleration processes, search for authenticity, expressive individualism, and so on are presupposed as anchors of interpretation. There are remarkable passages where more ambiguous or ambivalent conclusions are drawn from the empirical material. For example, Beekers opposes the ‘heretical imperative’ of religious choice, as put forth by both Peter Berger and Charles Taylor—who are leading references—because his informants are brought up in religious families. Thus, he concludes, other ‘spiritualities’ are not a real choice for his informants. More than religiously plural options, it is the distractions of media, consumer culture, the workplace, and the routine of everyday life that challenge their religious commitment. A traditional lifestyle is the outcome of that struggle yet, this time, not in a prior form, but rather the result of a ‘free’ submission to God’s will. It in those passages where Beekers delves into these religious discourses of his informants that this work is at its most revealing and instructive.","PeriodicalId":46717,"journal":{"name":"RELIGION","volume":"53 1","pages":"597 - 600"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46405342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
