domains--new economic theories and practices; the discourses of Christian redemption; and the rise of tragicomedy as the stage's most popular genre--were together crucial to the formulation of a new and paradoxical way of thinking about loss and profit in relationship to one another. </p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14443.html">Read

First, he was basically ignored by American religious historians who tended to write more about Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, Billy Graham, or Martin Luther King, Jr. I wondered about the religious insights of a man who refused to become a minister. I found that Du Bois’s life and insights probably tell us more about the power and place of religion in American society than any of these others. Second, American historians have written extensively about Du Bois but have basically ignored his interest in religion. I felt shocked to read book after book about <em>The Souls of Black Folk</em> that focused on the word “folk” in the title but not on “souls.” </p></blockquote> </div> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">Posted by PennPress on June 23, 2008 at 09:48 AM in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/african_american_studies/">African American Studies</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/american_history_studies/">American History & Studies</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/biography/">Biography</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/religious_studies/">Religious Studies</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2008/06/blum-interview.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2008/06/blum-interview.html#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p> <!-- technorati tags --> <!-- post footer links --> </div> </div> <div class="entry" id="entry-51568784"> <h3 class="entry-header"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://pennpress.typepad.com/pennpresslog/2008/06/selling-the-ame.html">Selling the American Way--Now Available</a></h3> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="entry-body"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081011050512/http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/14433.html"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong> Selling the American Way: U.S. Propaganda and the Cold War</strong></span></a> <br/>Laura A.
