Description

Sainthood and Race: Marked Flesh, Holy Flesh examines the intersection of sainthood and race through a critical lens that challenges traditional understandings of sanctity. This Routledge Studies in Religion volume interrogates how the category of sainthood transforms when inflected by the problematic category of race, moving beyond popular imagination's universal saint archetype. The book explores two distinct characteristics of the saint's body: the historicized, marked flesh that bears the traces of social and historical context, and the universal dimension often attributed to holy figures. Through rigorous scholarly analysis, it positions sainthood within its specific historical and social contexts, offering new approaches to understanding religious authority, embodiment, and identity. Ideal for students and scholars of religious studies, history, and postcolonial theory seeking nuanced perspectives on how race shapes narratives of holiness and spiritual exemplarity.

Key Features

Explores the complicated relationship between sainthood and race through examination of the saint's body and its historical significance.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series, providing scholarly depth and academic rigour in religious studies scholarship.

Addresses how the category of sainthood is interrogated and transformed when inflected by considerations of race and historical context.

Examines both the marked, historicized flesh of saints and the universal characteristics attributed to holy figures in religious tradition.
