{"product_id":"9780253110831","title":"Peoples Temple and Black Religion in America","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Peoples Temple movement ended on November 18, 1978, when more than\u003cbr\u003e 900 men, women, and children died in a ritual of murder and suicide in their\u003cbr\u003e utopianist community of Jonestown, Guyana. Only a handful lived to tell their story.\u003cbr\u003e As is well known, Jim Jones, the leader of Peoples Temple, was white, but most of\u003cbr\u003e his followers were black. Despite that, little has been written about Peoples Temple\u003cbr\u003e in the context of black religion in America. In 10 essays, writers from various\u003cbr\u003e disciplines address this gap in the scholarship. Twenty-five years after the tragedy\u003cbr\u003e at Jonestown, they assess the impact of the black religious experience on Peoples\u003cbr\u003e Temple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101217636592,"sku":"9780253110831","price":17.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780253110831_p0.jpg?v=1763681127","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253110831","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
