Sparks from the Anvil of Oppression: Philadelphia's African Methodists and Southern Migrants, 1890-1940

About this ebook
While assuming the importance of churches within black communities, social historians generally have not studied them directly or have treated the black denominations as a single unit. Gregg focuses on the African Methodist churches and churchgoers in Philadelphia during the Great Migration and the concurrent rise of black ghettoes in the city to show the variety and richness of African American culture at that time.
