Freedom's Coming - Religious Culture and the Shaping of the South from the Civil War through the Civil Rights Era (Paperback, New edition)

In a sweeping analysis of religion in the post - Civil War and twentieth-century South, ""Freedom's Coming"" puts race and culture at the center, describing southern Protestant cultures as both priestly and prophetic: as southern formal theology sanctified dominant political and social hierarchies, evangelical belief and practice subtly undermined them. Harvey explains how black and white religious folk within and outside of mainstream religious groups formed a southern ""evangelical counterculture"" of Christian interracialism that challenged the theologically grounded racism pervasive among white southerners and ultimately helped to end Jim Crow in the South.
