Michael Cobb argues that we should consider religious language as a special kind of language - a language of curse words - that furiously communicates not theology or spirituality as much as it signals the sheer difficulty of representing race in a non-racist manner on the literary page.Literary criticism and cultural theory.American fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismRace in literatureReligion and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryRace relations in literatureBlasphemy in literatureReligion in literatureElectronic books.American fictionHistory and criticism.Race in literature.Religion and literatureHistoryRace relations in literature.Blasphemy in literature.Religion in literature.810.9/3552Cobb Michael L.904814MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451057103321Racial blasphemies2023501UNINA
