Everything Is Possible
Renewal
American Protestants have long suffered a contentious relationship with urban space. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, leading Protestant voices echoed Thomas Jefferson in decrying cities as
Between the Market and the State
This essay explores the efforts of federal officials in the early days of the New Deal to regulate, reform, and standardize American systems of prison labor. Eager to curtail the convict-lease system and other inhumane prison practices, yet fearful of idle convicts, officials in the Department of Justice collaborated with Franklin Roosevelt’s new National Recovery Administration to create an industry “code” governing convict labor. Initially cele…

The Making of Working-Class Religion
Religion has played a protean role in the lives of America's workers. This innovative volume focuses on Detroit to examine the religious consciousness constructed by the city's working-class Catholics, African American Protestants, and southern-born white evangelicals and Pentecostals between 1910 and 1969. The book embarks on an integrative view of working-class faith that ranges across boundaries of class, race, denomination, and time. As the b…
Union Made
In his ambitious new book Heath W. Carter seeks to “recast the history of social Christianity” (p. 4). For too long, Carter contends, historians have portrayed the Social Gospel as the product of reform-minded, middle-class theologians and their progressive allies. He argues instead that social Christianity “emerged from below” as working-class activists sought to reconcile a tradition of egalitarian Christianity with the stark economic inequalit…

The Remaking of the Catholic Working Class
This essay examines the response of Catholics-both the institutional church and blue-collar laity-to the turmoil of the late 1930s and the rise of the United Automobile Workers in Detroit. It critiques an influential line of scholarship that holds that the ethnic working class was effectively secularized by the rise of mass culture, the welfare state, and industrial unions. Instead, the essay argues that religion-like class, gender, or race/ethni…
