Synopsis "Religion and the Domestication of Dissent (Religion in Culture)"

In its first edition, Religion and the Domestication of Dissent focused on the representations of Islam that circulated in the wake of the 9/11 attacks--representations that scholars, pundits, and politicians alike used either to essentialize and demonize it or, instead, to isolate specific aspects as apolitical and thus tolerable faith. This little book's larger thesis therefore argued for how the classifications that we routinely use to identify and thereby negotiate our social worlds--notably such categories as "religion" or "faith"--are explicitly political.This new edition, which updates the first and adds a new closing chapter, continues to be relevant today--a time when assertions concerning supposedly authentic and homogenous identities (whether shared by "us" or "them") continue to animate a variety of public debates where the stakes remain high. Thinking back on how Islam was often portrayed in scholarship and popular media in western Europe and North America offers lessons for how debates today unfold on such topics as Christian nationalism--a designation now prominent among pundits intent on identifying the proper and improper ways in which religion intersects with modern political life. But it is this very distinction (between religion and politics) that ought to be attracting our attention, if we are interested not in which way of being religious is right or reasonable but, instead, in determining why some social groups are known as religious in the first place. Seeing the latter question as linked to studying how socially formative categories function in liberal democracies, Religion and the Domestication of Dissent offers an anthropology of the present, when the longstanding mechanisms of liberal governance seem to be under threat.
