Evangelicalism and the Politics of Reform in Northern Black Thought, - 1776 186

Informationen zum Autor Rita Roberts is a professor of history at Scripps College and the Intercollegiate Department of Africana Studies at Claremont in California. Klappentext During the revolutionary age and in the early republic, when racial ideologies were evolving and slavery expanding, some northern blacks surprisingly came to identify very strongly with the American cause and to take pride in calling themselves American. In this intriguing study, Rita Roberts explores this phenomenon and offers an in-depth examination of the intellectual underpinnings of antebellum black activists.
