Standing in the Shoes My Mother Made - A Womanist Spirituality

Klappentext Hayes specifically shows how womanist commitments in the Christian tradition provide a specific critical lens for seeing the strengths and weaknesses of a Christianity that has often flourished at the expense of! or neglect of! African Americans. Black women have a unique take on the churchs stance on race! class! and gender issues. Yet their unquestioned devotion lends a hope and optimism often missing from critical thought and! as Hayes shows in this powerful volume! invites the church itself to a new conversion and role.
