In Detroit, there was one church and one minister in particular that demonstrated this power of the pulpit-Second Baptist Church of Detroit (\"\"Second,\"\" as many members called it) and its nineteenth pastor, the Reverend Robert L. Bradby. In Race, Religion, and the Pulpit: Rev. Robert L. Bradby and the Making of Urban Detroit, author Julia Marie Robinson explores how Bradby's church became the catalyst for economic empowerment, community building, and the formation of an urban African American working class in Detroit.  Robinson begins by examining Reverend Bradby's formative years in Ontario, Canada; his rise to prominence as a pastor and community leader at Second Baptist in Detroit; and the sociohistorical context of his work in the early years of the Great Migration. She goes on to investigate the sometimes surprising nature of relationships between Second Baptist, its members, and prominent white elites in Detroit, including Bradby's close relationship to Ford Motor Company and Henry Ford. Finally, Robinson details Bradby's efforts as a \"\"race leader\"\" and activist, roles that were tied directly to his theology. She looks at the parts the minister played in such high-profile events as the organizing of Detroit's NAACP chapter, the Ossian Sweet trial of the mid-1920s, the Scottsboro Boys trials in the 1930s, and the controversial rise of the United Auto Workers in Detroit in the 1940s.  Race, Religion, and the Pulpit presents a full and nuanced picture of Bradby's life that has so far been missing from the scholarly record. Readers interested in the intersections of race and religion in American history, as well as anyone with ties to Detroit's Second Baptist Church, will appreciate this thorough volume.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096505880849,"sku":"CIN0814332919G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135255736593,"sku":"NLS9780814332917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814332919.jpg?v=1763225965"},{"product_id":"princess-mimi-s-magical-quest-book-julia-robinson-9781963295931","title":"Princess Mimi's Magical Quest","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51063956242705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51063959191825,"sku":"NIN9781963295931","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1963295935.jpg?v=1751188462"},{"product_id":"intensely-personal-book-julia-robinson-9781093582185","title":"Intensely Personal","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51313943675153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51313946689809,"sku":"GOR013861152","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1093582189.jpg?v=1750918790"},{"product_id":"princess-mimi-s-magical-quest-book-julia-robinson-9781963295924","title":"Princess Mimi's Magical Quest","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52778864181521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52778864771345,"sku":"NIN9781963295924","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781963295924.jpg?v=1763934248"},{"product_id":"john-cage-book-julia-robinson-9780262516303","title":"John Cage","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn extended trajectory of Cage literature, from early critical reaction to writing by contemporaries to current scholarship.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Cage (1912-1992) defined a radical practice of composition that changed the course of modern music and shaped a new conceptual horizon for postwar art. Famous for his use of chance and silence in musical works, a pioneer in electronic music and the nonstandard use of instruments, Cage was one of the most influential composers of the last century. This volume traces a trajectory of writings on the artist, from the earliest critical reactions to the scholarship of today. If the first writing on Cage in the American context, often written by close associates with Cage's involvement, seemed lacking in critical distance, younger scholars--a generation removed--have recently begun to approach the legacy from a new perspective, with more developed theoretical frameworks and greater skepticism. This book captures that evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe texts include discussions of Cage's work in the context of the New Music scene in Germany in the 1950s; Yvonne Rainer's essay looking back on Cage and New York experimentalism of the 1960s; a complex and original mapping of Cage's place in a wider avant-garde genealogy that includes Le Corbusier and Moholy-Nagy; a musicologist's account of Cage's process of defining and formalizing his concept of indeterminacy; and an analysis of Cage's project that considers his strategies of self-representation as key to his unique impact on modern and postmodern art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53073252876561,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53073253007633,"sku":"CIN0262516306G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780262516303.jpg?v=1769638975"},{"product_id":"the-silent-well-the-absurdity-of-judgement-bedtime-stories-for-adults-book-julia-robinson-9798665186153","title":"The Silent Well: The Absurdity of Judgement (Bedtime Stories for Adults)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53698834432273,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53698834530577,"sku":"GOR015006996","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798665186153.jpg?v=1782174486"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-julia-robinson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
