Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The Canonical Black Body Chapter 2: Bound No More: Charles Mason, Black Scriptures and the Working-Class Body Chapter 3: Deracinated Democracy and the Black Divine Chapter 4: The Whole Body: Alternative Christian Economic Self-Determination and the Black Madonna Chapter 5: Toward Embodied Freedom: Crisis and Collaborations on the Margins of the Black Church Tradition Bibliography About the AuthorReviewsTucker Edmonds argues that three non-mainstream, mid-20th-century religious movements are as central to affirming the Black body (both physical entity and metaphor) as those associated with Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. He presumes readers are familiar with all three movements--Pentecostal Church of God in Christ, founded by Charles Mason; Father Divine's Peace Mission movement; and Albert Cleage's Shrine of the Black Madonna--and with key Black religious thinkers. Tucker Edmonds emphasizes Mason's opposition to war and advocacy of female leadership, Divine's calls for a non-racialized community (body), and Cleage's commitment to Black economic development.
