Callahan, Jr., offers a history of how coal miners and their families lived their religion in eastern Kentucky's coalfields during the early twentieth century. Callahan follows coal miners and their families from subsistence farming to industrial coal mining as they draw, upon religious idioms to negotiate changing patterns of life and work. He traces innovation and continuity in religious expression that emerged from the specific experiences of coal mining, including the spaces and social structures of coal towns, the working bodies of miners, the anxieties of their families, and the struggle toward organized labor. Building on oral histories, folklore, folksongs, and vernacular forms of spirituality, this rich and engaging narrative recovers a social history of ordinary working people through religion."--Jacket. 000732424 650_0 $$aCoal miners$$xReligious life. 000732424 651_0 $$aKentucky$$xReligious life and customs. 000732424 830_0 $$aReligion in North America. 000732424 85200 $$bgen$$hBR555.K4$$iC35$$i2009 000732424 85641 $$3Table of contents$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0815/2008013740.html 000732424 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:732424$$pGLOBAL_SET 000732424 980__ $$aBIB 000732424 980__ $$aBOOK
