Final call to sign on for this giveaway! I'll reach out to winners this weekend. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few more things that I cut out of/saw since the original thread. https://twitter.com/DanielVacaIII/status/1337461666536108037?s=20
2/ Here's an interview I did with @JohnGTurner2020 earlier this year. We talked about definitions of evangelicalism, market segmentation, whiteness, historical interpretation, and more. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2020/01/evangelicals-incorporated-an-interview-with-daniel-vaca/
3/ In looking at this a year later, I was glad to see that I emphasized thinking about how evangelical ideologies and infrastructures have created a cultural formation with a foundation that can't be revised easily, and which lives on as media/markets continually transform.
4/ About that foundation: I tagged @AntheaButler before bc she's reminding us that racism's been baked into white ev'ism. This makes the sudden awareness of some evangelical leaders seem a little late/naive. (While the SBC's take on CRT is unsurprising.) https://religionnews.com/2020/12/14/white-evangelicals-dont-just-condemn-christian-nationalism-own-it/
5/ About change: in @commentmag, @noahtoly reflected how "negating, rejecting, and even opposing" aspects of evangelical culture requires seeing "entanglements clearly, and Vaca’s book helps us to do that." https://www.cardus.ca/comment/article/you-are-what-you-read/
6/ About entanglements: in the National Catholic Reporter, @JasonSteidl reflects on the relationship between religion and capitalism, connecting my book to reporting on the finances of Catholic groups. https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/daniel-vacas-history-details-evangelicalisms-rise-through-power-its-book-presses
7/ Again, don't hesitate to reach out if you/your students want to talk with me about the book or themes in parts of it, including religion + media/print culture, business/capitalism, commercialism/consumerism, gender/family, race/whiteness, and more. https://twitter.com/DanielVacaIII/status/1337467367044079617?s=20
8/8 And here's a reminder on how to get the book. https://twitter.com/DanielVacaIII/status/1337467199284457475?s=20
