Reviews
"Pike's For the Wild provides an essential and well-structured resource for scholars interested in the intersection between environmentalism and alternative spiritualities." * Reading Religion *
"For the Wild is a timely book on a neglected area of inquiry in the emerging and increasingly significant field of religion and ecology." * Nova Religio *
"In a novel application of religious studies to the science of social movements, Sarah M. Pike emphasizes the vital role that emotion and ritual play in the making of protest. ... For the Wild will likely be of interest to scholars and students of social movements and environmental protest, but also for social change makers such as non-profits, community organizations, and grassroots activists seeking to better understand their own histories and motivations." * Social Movement Studies *
"Challenges the politics of knowledge and the ways knowledge discipline and shape different bodies different bodies differently." * Religious Studies Review *
