“Provides a fascinating and nuanced study of the transformations in religious and social ideals among Moravians as they worked to implement their aspirations in the harsh realities of a North Carolina landscape shaped by racism. Ferguson reveals the intersecting dynamics of religious aspirations, sectarian prejudices, conflicting designs across cultural landscapes, paradoxical divergences of religious ideals and social realities, and the life stories of African Americans working to navigate such contested terrain.”—Christopher C. Fennell, author of Crossroads and Cosmologies
“A fascinating examination of the tension of race relations in the antebellum South. God’s Fields unfolds like a murder mystery and is hard to put down.”—Christopher E. Hendricks, author of The Backcountry Towns of Colonial Virginia The Moravian community of Salem, North Carolina, was founded in 1766, and the town—the hub of nearly 100,000 piedmont acres purchased thirteen years before and named “Wachovia”—quickly became the focal point for the church’s colonial presence in the South.Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
