- Summary
- This is the first book to focus on the significance of religion during President Obama's years in the White House, both in the United States and internationally. Religion in the Age of Obama explores the religious and moral underpinning of the Obama presidency and of subsequent debates regarding his tenure in the White House. It provides an analysis of Obama's beliefs and their relationship to his vision of public life, as well as the way in which the general ethos of religion and non-religion has shifted over the past decade in the United States under his presidency. Including chapters from John L. Jackson Jr., Kathryn Lofton, Sylvester A. Johnson, Keri Day, and Max Perry Mueller, topics include how Obama has employed religious rhetoric in response to both international and domestic events, his attempt to inhabit a kind of Blackness that comforts and reassures rather than challenges White America, the limits of Christian hospitality within U.S. immigration policy, and the racialization of Islam in the U.S. national imagination. Drawing on a wide-range of topics, this book shows that the years of the Obama presidency served as a watershed moment of significant reorganization of the role of religion in national public life. Religion in the Age of Obama is an important and timely contribution to debates on religion, race, and public life in the United States.
