Book Synopsis
How is knowledge about religion and religions produced, and how is that knowledge authenticated and circulated? The author aims to answer these questions. He shows that race, rather than theology, was formative in the emerging study of religion in Europe and North America.

Trade Review
"Elegantly pairing key themes and authors in each section, Chidester's lucid and powerful book will be of central importance to specialists in African religions and history and the larger genealogy of religion as a modern category." (Hugh B. Urban, Ohio State University)"
