Zusammenfassung: | This book brings together an interdisciplinary roster of scholars
and practitioners to analyze the politics of sexuality within Black
churches and the communities they serve. In essays and
conversations, leading writers reflect on how Black churches have
participated in recent discussions about issues such as marriage
equality, reproductive justice, and transgender visibility in
American society. They consider the varied ways that Black people
and groups negotiate the intersections of religion, race, gender,
and sexuality across historical and contemporary settings.
Individually and collectively, the pieces included in this book
shed light on the relationship between the cultural politics of
Black churches and the broader cultural and political terrain of
the United States. Contributors examine how churches and their
members participate in the formal processes of electoral politics
as well as how they engage in other processes of social and
cultural change. They highlight how contemporary debates around
marriage, gender, and sexuality are deeply informed by religious
beliefs and practices. Through a critically engaged
interdisciplinary investigation, The Sexual Politics of Black
Churches develops an array of new perspectives on religion,
race, and sexuality in American culture. |
