African Americans who left en masse for much of the twentieth century are returning in huge numbers, drawn back by a mix of ambition, family ties, and cultural memory. Though Southerners remain more churchgoing than other Americans, the evan­gelical Protestantism that defined Southern culture through the 1960s has been torn by bitter ideological schisms. Drawing on mountains of data, interviews, and a whole new set of historic archives, Thompson reveals the true character of a region still misunderstood by outsiders and even by its own people.","brand":"To order - ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42547170443422,"sku":"HPC-9781439158470","price":25.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/products\/9781439158470.jpg?v=1681561848","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781439158470","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
