Содержание:
"From conquering to conquer" : Olaudah Equiano, George Whitefield, and a new Christian masculinity -- "A mark for them all to ... hiss at" : the formation of Methodist and Pequot identity in the conversion narrative of William Apess -- Ladders and quilts : Catharine Beecher's and Harriet Beecher Stowe's visions of the Christian subject and nation -- Uncovering the "mother-heart of God" " the cultural performance of the Christian feminists -- Untangling the biblical knot : reconsidering Elizabeth Cady Stanton and The woman's Bible.
Сводка: Curiously, despite their exclusion from the Protestant rhetorics of manifest destiny and domesticity, the nineteenth century featured a remarkable growth in the conversion of women and nonwhite men to the Protestant faith. Why did women and nonwhite men seek to join a dominant religion that in many ways set out to limit and oppress them? This book responds to that question by exploring the actual words and rhetorical choices made by some of the most progressive Protestant white, African American, and Native American thinkers of the era: Olaudah Equiano, William Apess, Catharine Beecher, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Sojourner Truth, and Amanda Berry Smith.Сводка: It argues that American Protestantism was both prohibitive and constitutive, offering its followers an expedient, acceptable but limited means for assuming social and political power and for forming a mutually empathetic, relational notion of self while at the same time foreclosing the possibility for more radical roles and social change.
