Summary
Religion is a racialized category, even when race is not explicitly mentioned. 'Modern Religion, Modern Race' argues that because the concepts of religion and race are rooted in the post-Enlightenment project of rethinking what it means to be human, we cannot simply will ourselves to stop using these categories.
