• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the intersections of religion and race in the context of the Christian Right's responses to the presidency of Barack Obama. Perry argues that the context of the war on terror allowed long-standing arguments on the Christian Right to morph into conspiracy theories and adversarial claims directed at President Obama.
