Beyond interreligious literacy, beyond interfaith collaboration in civic engagement, this book frames a pedagogy of interreligious liberation. Frediani builds on the insights of scholars of color from around the globe, courageously showing how interreligious studies replicates oppressive systems of power—and imaginatively honing tools so the field can help dismantle these systems instead.
