Editorial Review:
"We have organized this book, in some ways, to tell a story about what black agents have done and made in light of the historical conditions that give their beliefs, choices, and actions meaning….We hold the view that African American religious studies at its best tries to make theoretically explicit what is implicit in history, to describe and demystify cultural and social practices and offer solutions to urgent problems besetting African Americans." —from the Introduction
Believing that African American religious studies has reached a crossroads, Cornel West and Eddie Glaude seek, in this landmark anthology, to steer the discipline into the future. Arguing that the complexity of beliefs, choices, and actions of African Americans need not be reduced to expressions of black religion, West and Glaude call for more careful reflection on the complex relationships of African American religious studies to conceptions of class, gender, sexual orientation, race, empire, and other values that continue to challenge our democratic ideals.
