Abstract

Why did Evangelical Christians become champions of the modern Republican right? The answer lies in the dramatic and largely unknown story of “plain-folk” religious migrants: hardworking men and women from Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas who flocked to the suburbs of Los Angeles during World War II, seeking defense jobs and a new “City on the Hill.” This session explores award-winning historian Darren Dochuk’s account of a people who descended from pioneers and populists who sought deliverance from the Great Depression through God and capitalism.
