This is to announce the publication of my book Enduring Polygamy: Plural Marriage and Social Change in an African Metropolis this week by Rutgers University Press. The book uses plural marriage as a lens through which to explore complex issues of gender, power, and cultural relativism in a dynamic urban setting (Bamako, Mali has been declared Africa's fastest-growing city).

Next year I will likely be teaching, once again, an introductory course in our Department of Religion, on Contemporary Judaism. Such a course has to give some kind of overview of the diversity of Judaism(s) today.

This approach seems to obscure and conceal a lot of differences and a lot of similarities.
