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.
