Sinossi

This much anticipated follow-up to the best-selling Historic Rural Churches of Georgia (2016) documents even more rural churches and communities founded prior to 1900 throughout the Peach State. With more than 250 stunning color images, the new volume chronicles the historical, community, religious, and architectural significance of fifty new sites, while simultaneously calling for their historic preservation when possible.

The book includes special focus on African American churches pre- and post-Emancipation, with a foreword by Ambassador Andrew Young. In his foreword, Ambassador Young reflects on the central role of the Black church in his life, writing, “As I look back, my experience in these rural church assignments was the basis for my understanding of racial inequality in the South and my deeply held conviction to do something about it. It prepared me for the long struggle that was to come.” In addition to this important foreword, scholars Doug E. Thompson and Noel Leo Erskine add significant historical context in their introductory essay.
