This book explores the use of creative practices, in particular, theatre, as a platform for enabling new research methodologies and spaces in which to practice politics. It offers insights into the use of theatre as a medium to disseminate research to the wider public and extend the terrain of political debate in productive ways. The book explores debates within transnational feminism and transnational justice to offer new perspectives on affect and performance. It also engages with theory on the liveliness of material objects as actors in networks of knowledge production. In particular, the book provides an insight into the travels of a performance script through national and transnational space, as an opportunity to consider a public debate across nations that have intertwined histories and spatialities on the issues of care and need.

How do religion and politics interact in America? How has that relationship changed over time? Why have American religious and political thought sometimes developed along a parallell course while at other times they have moved in opposite directions? These are among the many important and fascinating questions addressed in this volume. Originally published in 1990 as Religion and American Politics: From The Colonial Period to the 1980s (4921 paperback copies sold), this book offers the first comprehensive survey of the relationship between religion and politics in America. It features a stellar lineup of scholars, including Richard Carwardine, Nathan Hatch, Daniel Walker Howe, George Marsden, Martin Marty, Harry Stout, John Wilson, Robert Wuthnow, and Bertram Wyatt-Brown. Since its publication, the influence of religion on American politics--and, therefore, interest in the topic--has grown exponentially. For this new edition, Mark Noll and new co-editor Luke Harlow offer a completely new introduction, and also commission several new pieces and eliminate several that are now out of date. The resulting book offers a historically-grounded approach to one of the most divisive issues of our time, and serves a wide variety of courses in religious studies, history, and politics.
