About this product
Product Information
While assuming the importance ofa churches within black communities, social historians generally have not studied them directly or have treated the black denominations as a single unit. Gregg focuses on the African Methodist churches and churchgoers in Philadelphia during the Great Migration and the concurrent rise of black ghettoes in the city to show the variety and richness of African American culture at that time."

Reviews
"Gregg's work is nicely nuanced, convincingly supported, and attractively presented.... His work will undoubtedly be useful to both social and religious historians in advancing their understanding of this pivotal period in American (and African-American) history." -Journal of American History"Building on the tradition of community studies, of E.P. Thompson, Kenneth Kusmer, and Joe William Trotter, Gregg brings an intricacy and sophistication to his analysis that is admirable." -Emma Lapsansky, Haverford College, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography"This is a valuable and insightful study. It challenges very effectively the argument that the established churches didn't help migrants and hence contributed to their 'failure to make good' in the North. The author deserves special praise for his assessment of what the Philadelphia churches actually did do, and the reasons for their failure to attract more of the newcomers. It adds much to our understanding of the nature of the Great Migration." -Julie Winch, History, University of Massachusetts"The hegira of southern blacks during and after World War I is a significant watershed in African American history. Gregg's study helps break new ground by stressing the religious and cultural impact of the exodus, though the weight of his presentation is on how northern religious institutions, specifically the African Methodist churches, responded to the challenge of the arrival of the arrival of the migrants. He has used a wide range of primary sources very effectively. His examination of the records pertaining to Mother Bethel is especially interesting." -Milton Sernett, Department of African American Studies, Syracuse University
