A work of religious, urban, and social history, it is the first book-length analysis of the new religious practices and traditions in Chicago that were stimulated by migration and urbanization. The book illustrates how the migration launched a new sacred order among blacks in the city that reflected aspects of both Southern black religion and modern city life. This new sacred order was also largely female as African American women constituted more than 70 percent of the membership in most black Protestant churches. Ultimately, Wallace Best demonstrates how black southerners imparted a folk religious sensibility to Chicago's black churches. In doing so, they ironically recast conceptions of modern, urban African American religion in terms that signified the rural past. In the same way that working class cultural idioms such as jazz and the blues emerged in the secular arena as a means to represent black modernity, he says, African American religion in Chicago, with its negotiation between the past, the present, rural and urban, revealed African American religion in modern form. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 African Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85001932|zIllinois|zChicago|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78086438-781|xReligion.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002007663 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 Religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1093763 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n78086438|xChurch history|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005033 651 7 Illinois|zChicago.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204048 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1411629 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBest, Wallace D.
