The Pew and the Picket Line collects works from a new generation of
scholars working at the nexus where religious history and
working-class history converge. Focusing on Christianity and its
unique purchase in America, the contributors use in-depth local
histories to illustrate how Americans male and female, rural and
urban, and from a range of ethnic backgrounds dwelt in a space
between the church and the shop floor. Their vivid essays show
Pentecostal miners preaching prosperity while seeking miracles in
the depths of the earth, while aboveground black sharecroppers and
white Protestants establish credit unions to pursue a joint vision
of cooperative capitalism. Innovative and essential, The Pew and
the Picket Line reframes venerable debates as it maps the dynamic
contours of a landscape sculpted by the powerful forces of
Christianity and capitalism. Contributors: Christopher D. Cantwell,
Heath W. Carter, Janine Giordano Drake, Ken Fones-Wolf, Erik
Gellman, Alison Collis Greene, Brett Hendrickson, Dan McKanan,
Matthew Pehl, Kerry L. Pimblott, Jarod Roll, Evelyn Sterne, and
Arlene Sanchez Walsh.
