Moore, Pinn, Sawyer, People's Temple And Black Religion These questions are worthy of substantial study. The most notable absence hereis the voices of African American members of Peoples Temple, http://northstar.vassar.edu/volume7/moore_pinn_sawyer.html
Extractions: ISSN 1094-902X Peoples Temple and Black Religion in America . Edited by Rebecca Moore, Anthony B. Pinn, and Mary R. Sawyer. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2004. 216 pages. $49.95, cloth. $21.95, paper. An important corrective has been issued to the record on Peoples Temple and Jonestown. In spite of the fact that the Temple and its agricultural mission were overwhelmingly African American, no book on the subject has ever taken as its primary object of inquiry the study of race issues or Black perspectives, religious or otherwise. The newly issued Peoples Temple and Black Religion in America , breaks this trend with a wide-ranging study that rightly places this historical movement and moment in an African American religious context. All books about Jonestown labor under the implicit task of explaining how the deaths there could happen, how the movement arrived at its calamitous end. Since 1978, scores of books and articles have been written on the subject. The numerous popular titles range from sensational ( Guyana Massacre ) to confessional ( Broken God ) to reportorial ( Raven: The Untold Story of the Rev. Jim Jones and His People
Philanthropy Research Uplifting people is an important contribution to the ongoing study of AfricanAmerican African American Giver, in notable American Philanthropists. http://www.gse.upenn.edu/~mgasman/philanthropy.htm
Extractions: Essays on Black Philanthropy and Education "These essays not only educate but challenge older perceptions of philanthropy. Informed by fresh research and disciplined analysis, they offer valuable new insights on key aspects of an important and often neglected topic. As a whole, they illuminate the many ways in which various expressions of African American philanthropy have been a form of agency that addressed the needs of a disadvantaged group; frequently influenced the giving and thinking of those who exercised power through their ability to bestow gifts of money, time, and ideas; and profoundly shaped social policy and social thought in the United States." Alfred A. Moss, Jr., Associate Professor of History, University of Maryland, College Park and co-author of Dangerous Donations, Northern Philanthropy and Southern Black Education (1999) and From Slavery to Freedom: A History of African Americans (2000) "Uplifting People is an important contribution to the ongoing study of African American philanthropy. The book documents how both individual African Americans and their institutions have given their time, talent and money to create opportunities, often where none existed. It is essential reading for any who are interested in learning more about African American philanthropy."
