Reading black books : how African American literature can make our faith more whole and just
Atcho, Claude, 1986-2022
Books
Learning from Black voices means listening to more than snippets. It means attending to Black stories. This book helps Christians hear and learn from enduring Black voices and stories as captured in classic African American literature. Pastor and teacher Claude Atcho offers a theological approach to 10 seminal texts of 20th-century African American literature. Each chapter takes up a theological category for inquiry through a close literary reading and theological reflection on a primary literary text, from Ralph Ellison's 'Invisible Man' and Richard Wright's 'Native Son' to Zora Neale Hurston's 'Moses', 'Man of the Mountain' and James Baldwin's 'Go Tell It on the Mountain'.
