Book Description:
|
In his captivating study of faith and class, John Hayes examines the ways folk religion in the early twentieth century allowed the South's poor - both white and black - to listen, borrow, and learn from each other about what it meant to live as Christians in a world of severe struggle. In this study, John Hayes recovers a historically contingent moment of interracial exchange generated in hardship.
