Black Christianity has sought solace in the redemptive figure of Christ in its struggle for human dignity and freedom. Working Against the Grain addresses the displacement of Black theology in Diasporan African churches by charismatic and conservative neo-Pentecostalism. The essays present a radical Black theology that empowers disenfranchised Black people whilst challenging White power to see and act differently. Working Against the Grain is an essential text for all those interested in the pursuit of racial justice and other forms of anti-oppressive practice, both inside the church and beyond it. 410 0$aCross cultural theologies. 606 $aBlack theology 615 0$aBlack theology. 676 $a230.089/96 700 $aReddie$b Anthony.$0857183 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781036203321 996 $aWorking against the grain$93753165 997 $aUNINA
