American Heathens : Religion, Race, and Reconstruction in California, Hardback Book

American Heathens : Religion, Race, and Reconstruction in California Hardback

Part of the Western Histories series

Hardback

Item not Available

Description

In the 19th-century debate over whether the United States should be an explicitly Christian nation, California emerged as a central battleground.

Racial groups that were perceived as godless and uncivilized were excluded from suffrage, and evangelism among Indians and the Chinese was seen as a politically incendiary act.

Joshua Paddison sheds light on Reconstruction's impact on Indians and Asian Americans by illustrating how marginalized groups fought for a political voice, refuting racist assumptions with their lives, words, and faith.

Reconstruction, he argues, was not merely a remaking of the South, but rather a multiracial and multiregional process of reimagining the nation.
