This is the first book to address the intersecting roles of race and gender in shaping the Prostestant tradition in the U.S. from the 1790's to the 1920's.
It examines the dialectic between resistance and assililation in the spiritual lives of African Americans under slavery and after emancipation. Slave faith healers, Methodist hymnists, black shakers, and African American writers all relflect the syncretic blending of African and European religious traditions that gave nineteenth-century Prostetantism its distintive African American tenor.
