Canaan land : a religious history of African Americans

Author:	Albert J Raboteau
Publisher:	New York, New York : Oxford University Press, [2001] ©2001
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Throughout African-American history, religion has been indelibly intertwined with the fight against intolerance and racial prejudice. Martin Luther King, Jr. - America's best-known champion of civil liberties - was a Baptist minister. Jarena Lee wrote her autobiography to defend her right to preach. Marcus Garvey used the slogan "One God, One Aim, One Destiny" to spread the message of black pride and solidarity. These leaders understood, and called for, the central importance of religion to their struggle for freedom and equality." "Canaan Land offers a panoramic view of the black religious and social experience in America. Renowned historian Albert J. Raboteau traces the subtle blending of African tribal customs with the powerful Christian establishment, the migration of African Americans to cities, the growth of Islam, and the two-hundred-year fight for freedom and identity that was so often centered around black churches. From the first African slaves to Louis Farrakhan, this far-reaching book serves as an ideal companion to the exploration of African-American life and faith."--Jacket.  Read more...
