 Authors of the new edited book, "When Politics Are Sacralized" (Cambridge University Press, 2021), reflect on how religious claims undergird and obscure settler colonial realities and why and how religious and political claims are fused to produce and entrench state violence.

 The panelists also discussed the contemporary manifestations of religion and political violence in Palestine/Israel within a deeper history and interrogation of Christian European modernity.
