Peoples Temple and Black Religion in America
The Peoples Temple movement ended on November 18, 1978, when more than900 men, women, and children died in a ritual of murder and suicide in theirutopianist community of Jonestown, Guyana. Only a handful lived to tell their story.As is well known, Jim Jones, the leader of Peoples Temple, was white, but most ofhis followers were black. Despite that, little has been written about Peoples Templein the context of black religion in America. In 10 essays, writers from variousdisciplines address this gap in the scholarship. Twenty-five years after the tragedyat Jonestown, they assess the impact of the black religious experience on PeoplesTemple.
