Book info: Something Within: Religion in African-American Political Activism (Paperback, 240 pages) – Oxford University Press, 2001. Language: English.
One of the first book-length studies in decades solely devoted to religion and African-American political activism, Something Within explores how Afro-Christianity encourages political activism among African-Americans. Combining ethnography, history, contextual analysis, and survey research, this book illustrates the participatory effects of Afro-Christianity by examining its institutional, psychological, and cultural influences. Moving beyond the current debates on the subject, Fredrick C. Harris advances a new theory of religion as a political resource for a "civic culture in opposition." Editorial Reviews Review "Meticulously researched...[a] pioneering work...highly recommended."--Choice"A readable and informative narrative."--Journal of Church and State About the Author Fredrick C. Harris is at University of Rochester.
