Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Making the imperial subject : Protestants, Catholics, and Jews -- Making empire in the Philippines : Filipinos, Moros, and the ambivalence of religious freedom -- Making religion on the reservation : Native Americans and the settler secular -- Making American whiteness : Jewish identity and the tri-faith movement -- Defining a people : African Americans and the racial limits of religious freedom.
Summary Religious freedom is often presented as a timeless American ideal, appearing fully formed at the founding of the United States. That is simply not so, Tisa Wenger contends in this sweeping and brilliantly argued work. Instead, American ideas about religious freedom were continually reinvented through a vibrant national discourse that cannot be separated from the evolving politics of race and empire.
