The Camisard religion was marked by more ecstatic expression than that of the Huguenots, not unlike differences between Pentecostals and Protestants. Both groups were persecuted and emigrated in large numbers, becoming participants in the broad circulation of ideas that characterized the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Randall vividly portrays this French Protestant diaspora through the lives of three figures: Gabriel Bernon, who led a Huguenot exodus to Massachusetts and moved among the commercial elite; Ezâechiel Carrâe, a Camisard who influenced Cotton Mather's theology; and Elie Neau, a Camisard-influenced writer and escaped galley slave who established North America's first school for blacks. Like other French Protestants, these men were adaptable in their religious views, a quality Randall points out as quintessentially American. In anthropological terms they acted as code shifters who manipulated multiple cultures. While this malleability ensured that French Protestant culture would not survive in externally recognizable terms in the Americas, Randall shows that the culture's impact was nonetheless considerable"--Jacket. 606 $aCamisards$zUnited States$xHistory$alemac 606 $aHuguenots$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aProtestantism$zFrance$xHistory 606 $aProtestantism$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$xFrench influences 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aUnited States$xReligion$yTo 1800 615 7$aCamisards$xHistory.$alemac 615 0$aHuguenots$xHistory. 615 0$aProtestantism$xHistory. 615 0$aProtestantism$xHistory. 676 $a973.2 700 $aRandall$b Catharine$f1957-$01550845 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792339103321 996 $aFrom a far country$93810015 997 $aUNINA
