This book convenes leading scholars to explore the roles of attire and adornment in the creation and communication of religious meaning, identity, and community. Contributors investigate aspects of religious dress in North America in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, considering adornment practices in a wide range of religious traditions and among individuals who straddle religious boundaries. The collection is organized around four frameworks for understanding the material culture of religion: theological interpretation, identity formation, negotiation of tradition, and activism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eReligion, Attire, and Adornment in North America \u003c\/i\u003efeatures essays on topics such as Black Israelites' use of African fabrics, Christian religious tattoos, Wiccan ritual nudity, Amish \"plain dress,\" Mormon sacred garments, Hare Krishna robes, and the Church of Body Modification.
