2012 Winner of the C. Calvin Smith Award presented by the Southern
Conference on African American Studies, Inc. 2014 Honorable Mention
for the Distinguished Book Award presented by the American
Sociological Association's Sociology of Religion Section
Conventional wisdom holds that Christians, as members of a
"universal" religion, all believe more or less the same things when
it comes to their faith. Yet black and white Christians differ in
significant ways, from their frequency of praying or attending
services to whether they regularly read the Bible or believe in
Heaven or Hell. In this engaging and accessible sociological study
of white and black Christian beliefs, Jason E. Shelton and Michael
O. Emerson push beyond establishing that there are racial
differences in belief and practice among members of American
Protestantism to explore why those differences exist. Drawing on
the most comprehensive and systematic empirical analysis of African
American religious actions and beliefs to date, they delineate five
building blocks of black Protestant faith which have emerged from
the particular dynamics of American race relations. Shelton and
Emerson find that America's history of racial oppression has had a
deep and fundamental effect on the religious beliefs and practices
of blacks and whites across America.
This study seeks to critically examine the field and function of
social stratification, with emphasis on Africana phenomena. Phrased
another way, this edited volume attempts to study and focus on who
gets what and why, with regard to resources and structural
application of support. The John Henrik Clarke query is who made
this arrangement of leadership in America. Moreover, serving as a
reference, this study will assist researchers in contextualizing
and thematically examining the structural and resource allocation
of disparity exhibited toward Africana people. This manuscript of
essays is the first its kind. This study incorporates an
interdisciplinary scope to examine the concept of Africana Social
Stratification in the subject areas of: history, political science,
economics, Africana Studies, and social policy.
