Black Baptists and African Missions: The Origins of a Movement, 1880-1915

Black Baptists and African Missions is an exceptional study tracing the development of black interests in the South. The focus upon religious developments and changes offers unique insights into the nature, changes, and function of religion in black communities, while chapters take a historical approach in tracing the African mission movement through different states and time periods.

This study is an in-depth focus upon mission idealogy as well as black Baptist evolution and activity and provides a specific focus lacking in similar literature and explorations. It will appeal to those seeking a scholarly analysis of the relationship between black social and economic struggles and religious influences.
