{"product_id":"religious-feminist-activist-laurel-zwissler-9780803285705","title":"Religious, Feminist, Activist: Cosmologies of Interconnection","description":"In \u003ci\u003eReligious, Feminist, Activist\u003c\/i\u003e, Laurel Zwissler investigates the political and religious identities of women who understand their social-justice activism as religiously motivated. Placing these women in historical context as faith-based activists for social change, this book discusses what their activities reveal about the public significance of religion in the pluralistic context of North America and in our increasingly globalized world. Zwissler's ethnographic interviews with feminist Catholics, Pagans, and United Church Protestants reveal radically different views of religious and political expression and illuminate how individual women and their communities negotiate issues of personal identity, spirituality, and political responsibility. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Political activists of faith recount adventurous tales of run-ins with police, agonizing moments of fear and powerlessness in the face of global inequality, touching moments of community support, and successful projects that improve the lives of others. \u003ci\u003eReligious, Feminist, Activist\u003c\/i\u003e combines religion, politics, and globalization--subjects frequently discussed in macro terms--with individual personalities and intimate stories to provide a fresh perspective on what it means to be religiously and politically engaged. Zwissler also provides an insightful investigation into how religion and politics intersect for women on the political left. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurel Zwissler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803285701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803285705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018","brand":"Laurel Zwissler","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48438014247167,"sku":"9780803285705","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8d4d929-6f84-4339-8ad3-fa89305d732f.jpg?v=1777168215","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religious-feminist-activist-laurel-zwissler-9780803285705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
