Christianity and the Klu Klux Clan

Dr Stephen Tuck is University Lecturer in American History and Director of the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH). He also co-leads an interdiscipilnary network “Race and Resistance across borders in the long twentieth century,” based at TORCH. He is currently working on three projects: African American religion during the Jim Crow era, links between the British and American struggles for racial equality, and the influence of national location on the writing of American history. His most recent book is We Ain’t What We Ought To Be: The Black Freedom Struggle from Emancipation to Obama (www.weaintwhatweoughttobe.com). His forthcoming books include (with Nicolas Barrerye, Michael Heale and Cecile Vidal) You the People: writing American history abroad (California, 2014), and (with Robin Kelley) The other special relationship: race and rights in Britain and America (Palgrave, 2014). His current project, nearing completion, is a short book of Malcolm X’s visit to Oxford in 1964. My main book project is a study of the effect of white supremacy on religious faith. He is a fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford, and a visiting fellow at the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute, Harvard.
