The American black church, according to Fauset and other contemporary researchers, provided the one place where blacks could experiment without hindrance in activities such as business, politics, social reform, and social expression. With detailed primary accounts of these early spiritual movements and their beliefs and practices, \u003ci\u003eBlack Gods of the Metropolis\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the fascinating origins of such significant modern African American religious groups as the Nation of Islam as well as the role of lesser known and even forgotten churches in the history of the black community. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her new foreword, historian Barbara Dianne Savage discusses the relationship between black intellectuals and black religion, in particular the relationship between black social scientists and black religious practices during Fauset's time. She then explores the complexities of that relationship and its impact on the intellectual and political history of African American religion in general.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Black Gods of the Metropolis: Negro Religious Cults of the Urban North | Arthur Huff Fauset | Paperback | 0812210018 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks E 1742971","offer_id":48180240285848,"sku":"1742971","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51_S48cXIZL.jpg?v=1772219094","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/black-gods-of-the-metropolis-negro-religious-cults-of-the-urban-north","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
