Sorry for the protracted silence. Given the state of the economy and the state of everything else, I have neglected my duties to both my readers (I may be overestimating here). Things have been crazy in my little section of the universe. Budget cuts, low morale, uncertainty - everything that everyone seems to be dealing with - have dominated my life for that last little bit. Things aren't all bad. I did hear that one of my former grad students won a big fellowship and I couldn't be more pleased. My students have kept me going, too. No matter...On to the show.
I was perusing the web the other day and read Randall Stephens over at "Religion in American History," who had a great post about Pentecostalism and musicians like the King himself, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others. It's worth a read.
Did you hear that Douglas A. Blackmon won the Pulitzer in general nonfiction for Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II? I'm about a third of the way through it. Very interesting book.
And this from the Washington Post on what President Obama's election might mean for interpretations of the Civil War.
More later...
