Drawing on original archival research and fieldwork, the book analyzes the interdependence of collective and individual identities, integrating state-driven atheization into the study of conversion. It traces conviction-driven, coercive, strategic, and nonreligious shifts, situating them within broader processes of state formation, social engineering, and political power. Rich in empirical material, the volume offers conceptual tools and comparative frameworks to understand the entanglement of religion, nonreligion, and power during political upheaval. Intended for scholars and practitioners in history, religious studies, anthropology, sociology, political science, and related fields, this book provides valuable insights for those studying the dynamics of religion and nonreligion in politically complex contexts.

Weaving together historical, ethnographic, theoretical, and legal materials, the book focuses on how religion is politicized in North America in the Native American context. Noting that no Native language actually has a word translatable to “religion,” as the sacred and the secular are not separate spheres in Native traditions, and that religion is a colonial construct, the book adopts theories and methods from Native American and Indigenous Studies to understand Native American and Indigenous religious traditions. Written with the student in mind, this cutting-edge volume brings together 17 Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars at various career stages to offer a theoretical framework through which to think about the role of religion in U.S.–Native relations alongside real-world case studies. This book introduces students to the histories of Native American peoples, including discussion of Indigenous intellectual traditions, Indigenous sovereignty movements, and practices such as cultural appropriation and land acknowledgement, to make the case that Native American religions are a political phenomenon. With student-friendly pedagogy throughout, including discussion questions and “further resources” lists, it is a must-read for all students and teachers of Native American Religions, Religion in America, or Indigenous Studies.

It explores pathways toward more equitable and transformative practices for communities and environments. The book examines a mosaic of international research on issues of justice and power in tourism. Offering a critical and justice-oriented perspective, it seeks to develop a deep and critical understanding of not only how tourism interacts with injustices but also how it perpetuates various forms of (in)justice, beyond the purely economic- and marketing-driven view of tourism. Anchored in the critical tourism studies, the book is building on a diversity of perspectives and a rich array of theoretical and disciplinary frameworks to challenge conventional point of view on power dynamics and subsequent (in)justice issues associated with tourism. With illustrative case studies from different parts of the world, it leads the readers to build reflexivity and critical engagement for thoughtful research, theories, and practices in tourism. This book is aimed at graduate studies students and professors interested in a critically oriented, justice-based understanding of tourism as a global phenomenon. It will also offer a varied perspective on the complexity of tourism and its multidisciplinary weaving with geographies, societies, and philosophies to all tourism scholars.
