Description

Explore the complex connection between religious identity and racial categories in Sainthood and Race: Marked Flesh, Holy Flesh. Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series, this academic work examines how the concept of sainthood interacts with the problematic category of race. While popular thought often views saints as universal models of human excellence, recent scholarship has shifted focus toward the historical and social contexts that shape these figures. This book investigates the relationship between the saintly body and racial identity. It looks at the body through two distinct lenses: the historicized, marked body and the holy body. By interrogating these categories, the text offers new approaches to studying how religious devotion and social structures overlap. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the anthropology and sociology of religion, providing a deep look into how race inflects the study of holiness.
