Catron, John W.,

Embracing Protestantism : black identities in the Atlantic world / John W. Catron. - 1 online resource

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Christianity in Atlantic Africa before 1800 -- The favorite of heaven: Antigua and the growth of black Atlantic Christianity -- Early black Atlantic Christianity in the middle colonies -- Black evangelical diaspora in the greater Caribbean -- Afro-Christian diaspora in the age of revolution.

By examining eighteenth-century black Christianity in multiple locales and tracing the circuits of black evangelicals as they traveled through Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America, Catron examines how many Afro-Protestants maintained cultural and intellectual ties outside the confines of America's plantation complex and suggests they might be better understood as Atlantic Africans.
