    Printing and Performing Citizenship: The Production of Black Parallel Politics in Iowa

Abstract

MILA KAUT examines the intersections between churchbuilding and political thought and activity in order to create the conditions to understand Black women as political actors. She demonstrates how Black women organized congregations, participated in lay societies, and engaged with congregations across the state through the Afro-Protestant press and therefore, worked out a definition of institutional citizenship characterized by autonomy and respectability.
