For many, the South is the Bible belt, a place of religious conformity dominated by conservative evangelicals. To that pervasive image, Christianity and Race in the American South and Hard, Hard Religion bring a welcome complexity. In Christianity and Race in the American South, Paul Harvey, one of the most important students of southern religion, provides a “deliberately selective” “narrative history of race and southern Christianities from the …

Bridget Ford. Bonds of Union: Religion, Race, and Politics in a Civil War Borderland
In Bonds of Union: Religion, Race, and Politics in a Civil War Borderland, Bridget Ford studies a borderland between North and South, the Ohio River Valley, concentrating on Cincinnati, Ohio, and Louisville, Kentucky. Ford not only writes about a geographical borderland but also lodges her study within the historiographical borderland between cultural and political history. Studying the years leading up to and through the Civil War, she seeks to …
Denmark Vesey’s Garden: Slavery and Memory in the Cradle of the Confederacy
In the wake of Dylann Roof’s murders at a Charleston church and another death during the violence at the Lee Monument in Charlottesville, a public debate over taking down Confederate monuments has intensified.

He also led an unsuccessful campaign for federal censorship of the movies.…

In the months and years after the decision in favor of emancipation, a tentative federal policy for easing the blacks' transition to freedom emerged. Recent studies have often concluded, though, that federal efforts did little to encourage true freedom and independence for the former…
