The essays in Activism in the Name of God provide granular studies of underrecognized Black women activists--such as Anna Arnold Hedgeman, Carrie Williams Clifford, and Theressa Hoover--that collectively offer a big-picture synthesis of the evolution of Black women's activism since the nineteenth century.--Adam Lee Cilli, author of Canaan, Dim and Far: Black Reformers and the Pursuit of Citizenship in Pittsburgh, 1915-1945

Activism in the Name of God is an excellent contribution to Black women's intellectual history. The book's focus on the role of religion and spirituality provides a unique entry point to understanding how Black women have used their faith to guide their steps as social, political, and economic activists from the abolition of chattel slavery to the rise of #BlackLivesMatter.--Tejai Beulah Howard, assistant professor of history, ethics, and Black church and African diaspora studies at Methodist Theological School in Ohio The essays in Activism in the Name of God provide granular studies of underrecognized Black women activists--such as Anna Arnold Hedgeman, Carrie Williams Clifford, and Theressa Hoover--that collectively offer a big-picture synthesis of the evolution of Black women's activism since the nineteenth century.--Adam Lee Cilli, author of Canaan, Dim and Far: Black Reformers and the Pursuit of Citizenship in Pittsburgh, 1915-1945
