Exploring the resilience of black Christian traditions, the book delves into their role in cultural survival during slavery and partial freedom. It examines the tension between 'respectability' and African heritage practices, the widespread adoption of Christianity, and critiques of it as a 'white man's religion' from the eighteenth century onward. Additionally, the narrative highlights internal divisions within churches, addressing cultural, gendered, and class disparities among congregants with varying educational backgrounds, incomes, and worship styles.
