• W593255964 abstract "Back in print, revised, and enlarged to bring discussion to present, Manis shows how two conflicting civil religions emerged in South during civil rights movement, each with its own understanding of America's calling and destiny as a nation. Using black and Baptists in South as case studies, Manis interprets civil rights movement as a civil religious conflict between southerners with opposing understandings of America. Originally published in 1987, this new, expanded edition further argues that civil rights movement and its opposition, with their conflicting images and hopes for America, foreshadowed ongoing of recent days.In aftermath of World War II, citizens of every region drew together to affirm their common inheritance as a people and to celebrate nation's military and moral victories. Such triumphs seemed to confirm America as a beacon to nations, a city on a hill. When America and particularly South turned inward to think about the American dilemma of race, South became a battlefield of conflicting civil faiths. The growing civil rights movement, calling on nation to live out true meaning of its creed, revealed within South two separate civic creeds -- one based on freedom by law and equality under God; other finding in Constitution a guarantee of individual rights and in Bible a divine sanction of segregation.Manis explores southern reaction to civil rights through words and actions of black and Baptists, ministers, and laypersons whose rhetoric embodied conflicting civil religions in South. Responding to Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Boardof Education, both black and Baptists urged their fellow citizens to answer God's summons and help bring America to its God-given destiny. But as Brown gave way to events of civil rights movement, segregationist dream of Southland remaining white man's country was increasingly challenged as African Americans began, more militantly and more successfully, to claim historic promise of nation.Tracing civil religious implications of 1950s, Manis shows that as civil rights movement divided Americans, desegregation became a crucial symbol for Americans who saw nation as a land of equality and inclusion, as well as for Americans who continue to view America as properly and predominantly and Protestant. In two new chapters, Manis connects this earlier conflict over civil religion and civil rights with what sociologist James D. Hunter called wars. In contrast to Hunter and others who have commented on it, Manis views culture wars as centrally about problem of race and difference in American life. What has broadened into partisan conflict about social issues such as prayer in schools, abortion, and family values, began as and largely remains at heart question first raised by civil rights debate: How racially diverse should America be?" @default.
