Abstract

"How evangelical churches in the United States convert migrant distress into positive religious devotionWhy do migrants become more deeply evangelical in the United States and how does this religious identity alter their self-understanding? In the Hands of God examines this question through a unique lens, foregrounding the ways that churches transform what migrants feel. Drawing from her extensive fieldwork among Brazilian migrants in the Washington D.C. area, Johanna Bard Richlin shows that affective experience is key to comprehending migrants' turn toward intense religiosity, and their resulting evangelical commitment.The conditions of migrant life-family separation, geographic isolation, legal precariousness, workplace vulnerability, and deep uncertainty about the future-shape specific affective maladies, including loneliness, despair, and feeling stuck. These feelings in turn trigger novel religious yearnings. Evangelical churches deliberately and deftly articulate, manage, and reinterpret migrant distress through affective therapeutics, the strategic "healing" of migrants' psychological pain. Richlin offers insights into the affective dimensions of migration, the strategies pursued by evangelical churches to attract migrants, and the ways in which evangelical belonging enables migrants to feel better, emboldening them to improve their lives.Looking at the ways evangelical churches help migrants navigate negative emotions, In the Hands of God sheds light on the versatility and durability of evangelical Christianity"--

Abstract

In 1818, Mother Rose Philippine Duchesne, of the newly-founded Society of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, left France to participate in the missionary expansion of the Catholic Church in the New World, at the request of Bishop Louis William Dubourg, named bishop of "Louisiana". This vast area, acquired by the United States from France in 1803, extended over a territory of 530,000,000 acres (828,000 square miles), from New Orleans to Canada, including all the lands drained by the vast river system of the Mississippi and the Missouri, the future Midwest of the Unites States. Navigation was often difficult and the postal system disrupted. The writings of Saint Philippine - 656 letters, five journals and a few shorter documents, all in French (except for one letter in English) - constitute a rich source of information about her missionary call and the sacrifices involved, the primitive life of the first years on the Missouri frontier, and the development of the Catholic Church and the Society of the Sacred Heart in North America during thirty-four years. They depict her heroic life, widely recognized by historians of pioneer American Catholic life, and reveal her holiness, proclaimed by the Catholic Church in 1988. All of her writings have not been available to readers and researchers until now. This annotated edition brings them all together. En 1818, Mère Rose Philippine Duchesne, de la Société du Sacré-Cœur de Jésus récemment fondée, quitte la France pour participer à l’expansion missionnaire de l'Église catholique au Nouveau Monde, à la demande de Mgr Louis Guillaume Dubourg, nommé évêque de « la Louisiane ». Cette vaste région, acquise par les États-Unis à la France en 1803, s’étend sur un territoire d’environ 2 144 500 km2, allant de la Nouvelle-Orléans au Canada et recouvrant les terres drainées par le vaste système fluvial du Mississippi et du Missouri, futur Midwest des États-Unis. La navigation y est parfois difficile et la communication postale s’en trouve perturbée. Les écrits de sainte Philippine – 656 lettres, cinq annales et quelques textes plus courts, tous en français (sauf une lettre en anglais) – représentent une belle source d’informations concernant son appel missionnaire et les sacrifices qu'il a entraînés, la vie primitive des premières années à la frontière du Missouri, le développement de l'Église catholique et de la Société du Sacré-Cœur en Amérique du Nord pendant trente-quatre ans. Ils décrivent sa vie héroïque, reconnue par un bon nombre de sociétés historiques américaines, révèlent la sainteté proclamée par l'Église catholique en 1988. Jusqu’à présent, ses œuvres complètes n’avaient pas été mises à la disposition des lecteurs et des chercheurs. Cette édition annotée les rassemble.

Abstract

In this classic historical and cultural study, Carl Ellis offers an in-depth assessment of the state of African American freedom and dignity. He traces the growth of Black consciousness from the days of slavery to the 1990s, noting especially the contributions of King and Malcolm X. Ellis examines elements of Black culture and offers a distinct perspective on how God is active in culture more broadly. He concludes with a call for a new generation of "jazz theologians" to expand the influence of the African American church.
