The Other Black Church: Alternative Christian Movements and the Struggle for Black Freedom - Hardcover

by Joseph L. Tucker Edmonds (Author)

The Other Black Church places Father Divine, Charles Mason of COGIC, and Albert Cleage in conversation with the long history of Black theology and Black religious studies, and it suggests that alternative Christian movements are essential for thinking about African American critiques of and responses to the failures of US-based democracy.
