The history of race and religion in the American South is infused
with tragedy, survival, and water from St. Augustine on the shores
of Florida's Atlantic Coast to the swampy mire of Jamestown to the
floodwaters that nearly destroyed New Orleans. Determination,
resistance, survival, even transcendence, shape the story of race
and southern Christianities. In Christianity and Race in the
American South, Paul Harvey gives us a narrative history of the
South as it integrates into the story of religious history,
fundamentally transforming our understanding of the importance of
American Christianity and religious identity. Harvey chronicles the
diversity and complexity in the intertwined histories of race and
religion in the South, dating back to the first days of European
settlement. He presents a history rife with strange alliances,
unlikely parallels, and far too many tragedies, along the way
illustrating that ideas about the role of churches in the South
were critically shaped by conflicts over slavery and race that
defined southern life more broadly. Race, violence, religion, and
southern identity remain a volatile brew, and this book is the
persuasive historical examination that is essential to making sense
of it.
