Making America Great: Examining the Race-Religion-Nation Nexus (PoliticoReligion)

在特朗普总统2016年获胜后，美国，特别是针对穆斯林美国人的种族仇恨犯罪和暴力激增，创造了爱德华兹和拉辛所说的“特朗普仇恨”。正如2020年黑人生命问题抗议活动所表明的那样，种族紧张局势正在达到一个临界点，特朗普的言论和政策直接助长了这些紧张局势。支持特朗普主义的意识形态之一是基督教民族主义。美国并不是近年来宗教民族主义蓬勃发展的唯一国家。宗教也为波兰、印度和巴西等国的民族主义意识形态提供了强大的载体。但是，高度的宗教民族主义如何与种族冲突的上升联系起来？PoliticoReligion通过研究种族，宗教和民族主义之间的关系来应对这些社会挑战。

In the aftermath of President Trump's 2016 victory, racially motivated hate crimes and violence have surged in the US, especially toward Muslim Americans, creating what Edwards and Rushin call the 'Trump Effect'. As the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests demonstrated, racial tensions are reaching a breaking point, and Trump's rhetoric and policies directly fuelled those tensions. One of the ideologies bolstering Trumpism is Christian nationalism. The US isn't the only country where religious nationalism has flourished in recent years. Religion has also provided a powerful vehicle for nationalist ideology in countries such as Poland, India, and Brazil. But how do high levels of religious nationalism connect to the rise in racial conflict? PoliticoReligion responds to these societal challenges by examining the relationship between race, religion, and nationalism.
