| Summary: | This review article explores the recent literature about “religious racism” and other forms of discrimination against African diaspora religions. It begins by providing a short overview of what has been written about the history and meaning of “religious racism.” Then, it describes some of the recent articles and books that provide examples of religious racism against devotees of Afro-Brazilian religions, Vodou, and Obeah. Finally, by exploring some of the latest studies about the racialization of religious communities, it places this research in the context of the growing body of scholarship about the intersections of religious intolerance and racism. |
