In "The Cherokees and Christianity," William G. McLoughlin examines
how the process of religious acculturation worked within the
Cherokee Nation during the nineteenth century. More concerned with
Cherokee "Christianization" than Cherokee "civilization," these
eleven essays cover the various stages of cultural confrontation
with Christian imperialism.
The first section of the book explores the reactions of the
Cherokee to the inevitable clash between Christian missionaries and
their own religious leaders, as well as their many and varied
responses to slavery. In part two, McLoughlin explores the crucial
problem of racism that divided the southern part of North America
into red, white and black long before 1776 and considers the ways
in which the Cherokees either adapted Christianity to their own
needs or rejected it as inimical to their identity.
