This edited collection of exciting new scholarship provides
comprehensive coverage of the broad sweep of twentieth century
religious activism on the American left. The volume covers a
diversity of perspectives, including Protestant, Catholic, and
Jewish history, and important essays on African-American, Latino,
and women's spirituality. Taken together, these essays offer a
comparative and long-term perspective on religious groups and
social movements often studied in isolation, and fully integrate
faith-based action into the history of progressive social movements
and politics in the modern United States. It becomes clear that
throughout the twentieth century, religious faith has served as a
powerful motivator and generator for activism, not just as on the
right, where observers regularly link religion and politics, but on
the left. This volume will appeal to historians of modern American
politics, religion, and social movements, religious studies
scholars, and contemporary activists.
