"Disciples of Liberty takes a more global perspective than previous studies of African American denominations. It describes the wide range of issues that engaged the AME: the Irish struggle for home rule, British imperialism during the Boer War, persecution of Russian Jews, and the Boxer Rebellion, among many others. Further, it examines the attitudes of ordinary elders and laypersons, showing that they closely followed current events and demonstrating that AME leadership also was exercised from the bottom up." "A century ago, the AME Church recognized that prejudice at home was also a reflection of imperialism abroad. By focusing on the theme of liberty, Little's study offers new insights into that era and shows how African Americans developed a stand on universal human rights and self-determination."--BOOK JACKET.
