Bio

John Hayes is a historian of the 19th and 20th century United States, with a focus on the South. His first book, Hard, Hard Religion: Interracial Faith in the Poor South (UNC Press, 2017) analyzed the distinct folk Christianity crafted by impoverished people, Black and White, in the New South. His second book project, The People Rebelled, seeks to tell the complex story of the "riot" of May 11-12, 1970, in Augusta, Georgia—the largest Black rebellion in the Civil Rights-Black Power era South.
