Bøker av Edward J. Blum

During Reconstruction, former abolitionists in the North had a golden opportunity to pursue true racial justice and permanent reform in America. But the moment soon slipped away, leaving many whites throughout the North and South more racist than before. Edward Blum takes a fresh look at the reasons for this failure.

A combination of religious, political, cultural, and military history, War Is All Hell peers into the world of devils, demons, Satan, and hell during the era of the American Civil War and illuminates why, after the war, one of its leading generals described it as "all hell."

W. E. B. Du Bois, American Prophet is the first religious biography of this leading civil rights activist and intellectual. Though Du Bois is often labeled an atheist, historian Edward J. Blum argues that his religious and spiritual insights are central to understanding his political and intellectual work.
