Religion and Public Life in the Southern Crossroads

The region that has produced our last three presidents is ground zero of America's current culture wars. Comprising Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma, it is a land of borders where East meets West, South meets North, and Anglo America meets the cultures of Mexico and the Caribbean. Here, cultural and religious conflicts have long been a way of life: Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, and Catholics; Latinos, Blacks, and Native Americans all strive with and against each other around agendas of family, gender, race, and turf. This book examines the distinctive character of this Southern region and shows how it is shaping the religious politics of America today. - Back cover.
