Anne Blankenship is associate professor of religious studies at North Dakota State University. Her research investigates religious responses to injustice and relationships between national, racial, and religious identities. Blankenship’s first book, Christianity, Social Justice, and the Japanese American Incarceration during World War II, reveals how the injustice transformed Asian-American Christianity and challenged religious and racial boundaries in liberal American Christianity.
