Abstract:
"One of the first book-length studies devoted to religion and African-American political activism in a generation, Something Within explores how Afro-Christianity, in various ways, promotes the political activism of African Americans.
Going beyond the opiate-inspiration debate that has dominated research on the subject, author Fredrick C.
Harris illustrates the participatory effects of Afro-Christianity by examining its institutional, psychological, and cultural influences."--BOOK JACKET.
