PDF The Black Roots and White Racism of Early Pentecostalism in the USA by Walter J Hollenweger; Iain MacRobert in History

Description

Age of Betrayal is a brilliant reconsideration of America's first Gilded Age; when war-born dreams of freedom and democracy died of their impossibility. Focusing on the alliance between government and railroads forged by bribes and campaign contributions; Jack Beatty details the corruption of American political culture that; in the words of Rutherford B. Hayes; transformed “a government of the people; by the people; and for the people” into “a government by the corporations; of the corporations; and for the corporations.” A passionate; gripping; scandalous and sorrowing history of the triumph of wealth over commonwealth.
