After a historic election with record-breaking voter turnout, the Revealer‘s November issue now ponders the work ahead. While there is much to be celebrated and to be grateful for, there is also much to commit ourselves to: racial equality, overhauling the criminal justice system, combatting toxic masculinity, and extending protections to Black, LGBTQ+, Latinx, AAPI, and Native American communities. In articles about the power that binds Black women together in friendship, and on the impossibility of capturing the Wampanoag Tisquantum’s life in the narrativized myth of Thanksgiving, the Revealer’s writers imagine new ways of commemorating past lives, while an excerpt of The Name explores one possibility for the lost name of God. A review of the book Jesus and John Wayne reflects on white, evangelical masculinity, and Elayne Oliphant is interviewed by Contributing Editor Kali Handelman about French secularism, religious media, and violence. Read the issue in its entirety here.
