Religion and Migrants in the Golden State
In the late 1930s, the activist and journalist Carleton Beals reported on the religious lives of recent migrants to California. His observations of these destitute new arrivals showcased the prejudices of the era and displayed his Menckensque style
The Dust Bowl, the Depression, and American Protestant Responses to Environmental Devastation
The 1930s Dust Bowl on the Great Plains was one of the most catastrophic environmental disasters in history. Over-farming, severe drought, and high winds primed dust storms. Depopulation occurred in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. All was made worse by the economic crisis. While historians have written extensively about the Dust Bowl, its causes and its effects, there is little detailed scholarship on the religious dimensions o…
Acts of God
Scholars, activists and others increasingly acknowledge that religion—whether conceived in terms of ideas, rituals or institutions—can help us cope with climate change and make sense of extreme weather events. Churches provide moral lessons in times of crisis, they spread awareness of climate change and, through community ritual, religious institutions can nurture a sense of collective responsibility. Much has been written on how contemporary fai…
Where else did they copy their styles but from church groups
Church leaders and laypeople in the US went on the defensive shortly after rock and roll became a national youth craze in 1955 and 1956. Few of those religious critics would have been aware or capable of understanding that rock 'n' roll, in fact, had deep religious roots. Early rockers, all southerners-such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and James Brown-grew up in or regularly attended pentecostal churches. Pentec…
From abolitionists to fundamentalists
This article analyzes the cultural trajectory of a small, but influential denomination that formed in 1843. Wesleyan Methodism first emerged as an abolitionist protest against the Methodist compromise with slavery. The new church drew in members who championed a range of antebellum social reforms, including abolitionism, pacifism, women's rights, and temperance. By the early twentieth century, Wesleyans would become closely identified with fundam…
J. BROOKS FLIPPEN. Jimmy Carter, the Politics of Family, and the Rise of the Religious Right
One of the most significant transformations of American political culture in the last forty years was the energizing of Christian conservatives. While evangelical Christians went to the polls in greater numbers in the 1970s and pulled the lever for the GOP, the Democratic Party was losing its strong working-class base. Religious, political, and intellectual historians are now zeroing in on the 1970s as never before. The decade marks a major turni…
The Uses of American History

Another look at low pay
Age, lack of skill, employment in certain industries, all contribute to low pay - but with what weight? The purpose of this study is to present evidence that age and skill have been underestimated and the industrial effect misconstrued as factors in low pay. We then attempt to spell out the handicaps of the low paid in labour markets, of which high rates of unemployment are the main sign
