Through a complex and fascinating array of African American women's voices, Marla Frederick speaks to the power of religious consciousness for social change today."--Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Professor of History and Afro-American Studies, Harvard University "Every once in a great while, a work that is remarkable, original, and truly distinguished rises to the top of the pile of books glutting American bookstores-and this is that one. Between Sundays may just reshape the entire field, obliging scholars and educated readers to consider African American religion and gender in a new, fantastic light."--R. Marie Griffith, Princeton University, author ofGod's Daughters: Evangelical Women and the Power of Submission "Frederick has made an extremely significant contribution to the literature of African American women's religious histories and experience. A powerful and engaging portrait of a fascinating group of black Southern women.
