The volume includes essays on Jarena Lee, Theressa Hoover, Pauli Murray, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs, to name a few. These women's commitment to the social, political, and economic well-being of oppressed people in the United States shaped their work in the public sphere, which took the form of preaching, writing, singing, marching, presiding over religious institutions, teaching, assuming leadership roles in the civil rights movement, and creating politically subversive print and digital art. This anthology offers readers exemplars with whose minds and spirits we can engage, from whose ideas we can learn, and upon whose social justice work we can build. The volume joins a burgeoning chorus of texts that calls attention to the creativity of Black women who galvanized their readers, listeners, and fellow activists to seek justice for the oppressed. Pushing back on centuries of institutionalized injustices that have relegated Black women to the sidelines, the work of these Black feminist public intellectuals reflects both Christian gospel ethics and non-Christian religious traditions that celebrate the wholeness of Black people." -- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a African American political activists $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American feminists $x Biography. 650 0 $a African American feminists $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Womanism $z United States. 650 0 $a African American women $x Civil rights. 650 0 $a African American women $x Religious life. 650 0 $a Justice. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Carlacio, Jami L., $d 1964-, $e contributor. $e contributor. 700 1 $a Allured, Janet, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Brevard, Lisa Pertillar, $e contributor. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Carlacio, Jami L. $t Activism in the Name of God $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, c2023 $z 9781496845726 830 0 $a Margaret Walker Alexander series in African American studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240723010523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F53E340A48B811EF92258A7C5CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
