This text provides an insightful discussion of the development of Baptist churches, with a sensitivity to the racial and class factors that influenced the religious terrain of the southern states.

Higginbotham, Evelyn Brooks. Righteous Discontent: The Women's Movement in the Black Baptist Church, 1880-1920. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1993. Higginbotham provides one of the most important studies of the involvement of women in the National Baptist Convention. It should be essential reading for anyone interested in the development of Baptist churches in African American communities.

Jordan, Lewis G. Negro Baptist History, U.S.A., 1750-1930. Nashville: Sunday School Publishing Board, 1930. This is a fairly early study of the Baptist Conventions in African American communities, which should be read along with less celebratory treatments.
