Abstract

Through a comparative study of the AME Church in the U.S. and in South Africa, James Campbell in Songs of Zion examines not only the church's history but also the self-perceptions of church members. His "central premise" is that "African and African American identities are and have always been mutually constituted." Campbell begins with the conflict between Methodist authorities and Philadelphia's Bethel Church, which in 1816 led to incorporation of the AME Church under the leadership of Richard Allen.
