Sommario/riassunto

Race Patriotism: Protest and Print Culture in the A.M.E. Church  examines important nineteenth-century social issues through the lens of  the AME Church and its publications.  This book explores the ways in  which leaders and laity constructed historical narratives around varied  locations to sway public opinion of the day.  Drawing on the official  church newspaper, the Christian Recorder, and other  denominational and rare major primary sources, Bailey goes beyond  previously published works that focus solely on the founding era of the  tradition or the eastern seaboard
