Reviews

A significant addition and revision to both the history of and religious accounts of the New South and deserves a wide readership.--Virginia Magazine Makes an important contribution by showing that human and religious contact occurred across the color line in the Jim Crow South, even if neighborliness never challenged segregation.--Journal of American History A beautiful exploration and an excellent and unusual volume.--CHOICE Offers a glimpse of the remarkable creativity, passion, and tenacity of the poor Christians--black and white--who were thrown into a world that, in a variety of sometimes exclusive and sometimes overlapping ways, was predicated on their marginalization.--Journal of the American Academy of Religion In this remarkable book, Hayes explores how poor black and white Christians shaped a 'folk Christianity' in the New South out of their common experiences with poverty and Christianity.--The Journal of Southern History
