Bassett, Molly H., and Vincent W. Lloyd, eds. Sainthood and Race: Marked Flesh, Holy Flesh. New York: Routledge, 2015.
A compendium of essays engaging race and sainthood in largely Christian global contexts. The essays are interested in the tension between the titular “marked flesh” of the racialized body and the “holy flesh” of a presumably universal saint, interrogating this dichotomy in premodern Aztec, Andean, Caribbean, English, Indian, and other contexts. The collection deals with discussions in the study of colonialism, sainthood, and global studies.
