Taking the influential work of Arthur Huff Fauset as a starting
point to break down the false dichotomy that exists between
mainstream and marginal, a new generation of scholars offers fresh
ideas for understanding the religious expressions of African
Americans in the United States. Fauset's 1944 classic, Black Gods
of the Metropolis, launched original methods and theories for
thinking about African American religions as modern, cosmopolitan,
and democratic. The essays in this collection show the diversity of
African American religion in the wake of the Great Migration and
consider the full field of African American religion from
Pentecostalism to Black Judaism, Black Islam, and Father Divine's
Peace Mission Movement. As a whole, they create a dynamic,
humanistic, and thoroughly interdisciplinary understanding of
African American religious history and life. This book is essential
reading for anyone who studies the African American experience.
