Religion has played a protean role in the lives of America's workers. In this innovative volume, Matthew Pehl focuses on Detroit to examine the religious consciousness constructed by the city's workingclass Catholics, African American Protestants, and southernborn white evangelicals and Pentecostals between 1910 and 1969.Pehl embarks on an integrative view of workingclass faith that ranges across boundaries of class, race, denomination, and time. As he shows, workers in the 1910s and 1920s practiced beliefs characterized by emotional expressiveness, alliance with supernatural forces, and incorporation of mass culture's secular diversions into the sacred. That gave way to the more pragmatic classconscious religion cultures of the New Deal era and, from the late Thirties on, a quilt of secular workingclass cultures that coexisted in competitive, though creative, tension. Finally, Pehl shows how the ideology of race eclipsed class in the 1950s and 1960s, and in so doing replaced the classconscious with the raceconscious in religious cultures throughout the city.An ambitiously inclusive contribution to a burgeoning field, The Making of WorkingClass Religion breaks new ground in the study of solidarity and the sacred in the American heartland.
