Finally, this crucial subject has found its match in the brilliant scholarship of Angela Dillard. No one has done a better job of tracing those religious roots through the civil rightsblack power era than Professor Dillard. Komozi Woodard, Professor of History, Public Policy & Africana Studies at Sarah Lawrence College and author of A Nation within a Nation: Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) and Black Power Politics Angela Dillard recovers the long-submerged links between the black religious and political lefts in postwar Detroit. . . . Faith in the City is an essential contribution to the growing literature on the struggle for racial equality in the North. Thomas J. Sugrue, University of Pennsylvania, author of The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Postwar Detroit Spanning more than three decades and organized around the biographies of Reverends Charles A. Hill and Albert B. Cleage Jr., Faith in the City is a major new exploration of how the worlds of politics and faith merged for many of Detroits African Americansa convergence that provided the community with a powerful new voice and identity. While other religions have mixed politics and creed, Faith in the City shows how this fusion was and continues to be particularly vital to African American clergy and the Black freedom struggle. Activists in cities such as Detroit sustained a record of progressive politics over the course of three decades. Angela Dillard reveals this generational link and describes what the activism of the 1960s owed to that of the 1930s. The labor movement, for example, provided Detroits Black activists, both inside and outside the unions, with organizational power and experience virtually unmatched by any other African American urban community. Angela D. Dillard is Associate Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. She specializes in American and African American intellectual history, religious studies, critical race theory, and the history of political ideologies and social movements in the United States. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$zMichigan$zDetroit$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$zMichigan$zDetroit$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aCivil rights movements$zMichigan$zDetroit$y20th century 606 $aClergy$xPolitical activity$zMichigan$zDetroit$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCivil rights$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aDetroit (Mich.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCivil rights movements 615 0$aClergy$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aCivil rights$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory 676 $a323.1196/0730774340904 700 $aDillard$b Angela D.$f1965-$01871105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953384903321 996 $aFaith in the city$94479793 997 $aUNINA
