Books in the The C. Eric Lincoln Series on the Black Experience series

Offers an examination of the impact of the Great Migration - the movement from South to North and from country to city by hundreds of thousands of African Americans following World War I - on the American religious landscape. This book shows how the mass migration created an institutional crisis for black religious leaders.

Offers a view of African American religious history from Africa and early America through Reconstruction to the rise of black nationalism, civil rights, and the black theology. This work includes documents, such as personal narratives, sermons, letters, protest pamphlets, early denominational histories, and theological statements.

"A unique and unprecedented view of the enigma of Louis Farrakhan. In putting it together, Gardell has masterfully interwoven the information from an impressive collection of documents not treated by other scholars. His access to Farrakhan and the information make this a very special study."--Yvonne Haddad, author of "Muslims in America"
