What Does Genuine Transformation Look Like
What Does Genuine Transformation Look Like? Emphasizing the “E” in DEI Rebecca T. Alpert (bio) Knowing the deep commitment of Feminist Studies in Religion (FSR) to diversity, equity, and inclusion, I was not surprised that the leadership responded to the murder of George Floyd and the renewed focus on race in the United States by creating a list of “Action Items to Combat Anti-Black Racism.”1 I was curious that these items included no. 5, “Self-r…
The New American Judaism
Jack Wertheimer sets out to describe and analyze the current landscape of American Jewish life as it is practiced by people who belong to the synagogues associated with the major Jewish religious denominations: Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox. He interviewed a large cohort of leaders, examined contemporary writings about American Jewish religious life, and applied his own observational lens as a member of the class of professional Jewish schol…
Black Power, Jewish Politics
Marc Dollinger's well-written and provocative work provides an innovative interpretation of the mythic story of the alliance between Jews and blacks forged over the twentieth century and rent asunder in the post–civil rights era as a result of the rise of black power. Historians have long studied that alliance, and have generally agreed on its outlines. Jews, in becoming part of the white majority, imagined themselves to have a special relationsh…
Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth is a mythic figure in American baseball history. His extraordinary skills and legendary exploits are central to the idea of baseball as America's national pastime and are woven into the fabric of American history and iconography. Much has been written about Ruth's life, his extraordinary physical powers, and the legends that grew up around him that made him a mythic figure. The story of Babe Ruth as it has been told, however, has not in…

Like religion, playing and watching sports is a deeply meaningful, celebratory ritual enjoyed by millions across the world. The first scholarly work designed for use in both religion and sports courses, this collection develops and then applies a theoretically grounded approach to studying sports engagement globally and its relationship to modern-day issues of violence, difference, social protest, and belonging. Case studies explore the place of …

Conspiracy of Silence
For many years, as Chris Lamb notes in Conspiracy of Silence, the narrative of baseball's integration was focused on Branch Rickey, the Brooklyn Dodgers executive who in 1945 broke baseball's sixty-year unwritten ban on hiring African American players into the major or minor leagues. Jules Tygiel's Baseball's Great Experiment (1983) and Arnold Rampersad's Jackie Robinson (1997) began to shift the narrative focus from Rickey to the heroism and sac…
