The Elusive Dream: The Power of Race in Interracial Churches
Edwards, Korie L. (Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, Ohio State University)
The Elusive Dream demontrates, through nuanced analysis and in-depth study, that interracial churches in fact help to perpetuate the very racial inequality they aim to abolish. using national survey data and deatiled examination of one particular church, Edwards shows that mixed-race church congregations adapt their behaviour and adhere strongly to white norms. Thorough, incisive, and surprising, The Elusive Dream raises provocative questions aboutthe ongoing problem of race in the national culture.
