- Summary:
- of interest to students of pre-civil rights era African American activism and American religious history, this volume on printed materials from the AME church in the post civil war period examines the use of institutional documents as political tools and explores ways in which intellectuals associated with the AME fostered discussion of protest and activism through their writings. The work discusses topics surrounding the publication of the Christian Recorder, efforts to increase literacy and reading habits, relationships between political and religious advocates, and African American writers dealing with contemporary issues of identity, migration, and economic power. Bailey is a professor of religious studies at the University of Redlands, California. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
