SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book explores the profound impact of the bible on African-American culture and history, from the colonial era to the present. Connecting hip-hop, soul, sermons, and a wide range of other arts to the Bible, Allen Callahan shows how certain biblical themes have helped African Americans deal with injustice and find a collective identity. --From publisher's description.
