Opis

A rich account of the long history of Black religion from the dawn of Western colonialism to the rise of the national security paradigm.

Recenzje

'A century of work in slavery studies and critical race theory has exposed the terrors that underwrite American democratic freedom. Johnson's ambitious text steps into this multifaceted conversation … and reinterprets the history of African American religion through the lens of its central arguments …' Lucia Hulsether, Religious Studies Review
