From the Publisher"This book is a fascinating historical journey for anyone with an interest in history, religion and community." —Press Association
"Eclectic examples from the ample album of bigotry in American democracy." —Kirkus Reviews
A must read in a 21st century when religious pluralism and religious intolerance are a global challenge. Peter Gottschalk's American Heretics is a unique and powerful study and critique, a corrective to many American's amnesia about our past history of religious intolerance and, in his last chapter, a wakeup call to "The Sum of All Fears: Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Sentiment." —John L. Esposito, author of The Future of Islam and Islamophobia and the Challenge of Pluralism.
"American Heretics is a heartfelt plea to Americans to take responsibility for their xenophobia and racism.
