Tracing the religious history of Siler City, North Carolina, Chad
E. Seales argues that southern whites cultivated their own regional
brand of American secularism and employed it, alongside public
religious performances, to claim and regulate public spaces. Over
the course of the twentieth century, they wielded secularism to
segregate racialized bodies, to challenge local changes resulting
from civil rights legislation, and to respond to the arrival of
Latino migrants. Combining ethnographic and archival sources,
Seales studies the themes of industrialization, nationalism,
civility, privatization, and migration through the local history of
Siler City; its neighborhood patterns, Fourth of July parades,
Confederate soldiers, minstrel shows, mock weddings, banking
practices, police shootings, Good Friday processions, public
protests, and downtown mural displays. Offering a spatial approach
to the study of performative religion, The Secular Spectacle
presents a generative narrative of secularism from the perspective
of evangelical Protestants in the American South.
