New World a-Coming: Black Religion and Racial Identity During the Great Migration by Judith Weisenfeld is an English-language printed book that focuses on black religion and racial identity in the United States. The book examines how religious beliefs during the Great Migration shaped alternative views of race and identity.
Judith Weisenfeld highlights groups such as the Moorish Science Temple, the Nation of Islam, and congregations of Ethiopian Hebrews. These movements reject traditional racial categories and link their faith to a unique religious and racial identity. The work analyzes how these self-images influenced the social and political awareness of Black migrants and changed discussions about Black identity.
The content aligns with themes such as the history of religion and racial identity and is suitable for professionals interested in the dynamics of black religion and racial identity in the twentieth century.
