Black Fundamentalists challenges the idea that fundamentalism was an exclusively white phenomenon. The volume uncovers voices from the Black community that embraced the doctrinal tenets of the movement and, in many cases, explicitly self-iden�fied as fundamentalists.
How do religious groups reinvent themselves in order to a�ract new audiences? How do they rebrand their messages and recast their rituals in order to make their followers more diverse? Nicole Karapanagio�s considers the new branding of the Hare Krishna Movement, or the Interna�onal Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
