Moving Blackness
Black Circulation, Racism, and Relations of Homespace
Rutgers University Press
Moving Blackness explores the centrality of circulation within the framework of western modernity and the racially structured regulations of mobility. Storytelling emerges as the primary mode through which blackness is conveyed: it serves as a means of circulating the lived experiences of being Black while also functioning as acts of resistance and solidarity performed by blackened individuals who were (once) colonized and enslaved.

Russian Desecularization and a Ukrainian Alternative
Rutgers University Press
In the years between the Soviet collapse and the Russo-Ukrainian war, Russia went from persecuting believers to jailing irreligionists, while Ukraine solidified religious pluralism and tolerance. The book richly documents and explains the development of this contrast while offering an original theoretical and methodological perspective on desecularization (the resurgence of religion’s societal role).

By Kevin Glynn and Julie Cupples
