How this understanding expresses itself in everyday practices of faith is the subject of Between Sundays, an innovative work that takes readers beyond common misconceptions and narrow assumptions about black religion and into the actual complexities of African American women's spiritual lives. Gracefully combining narrative, interviews, and analysis, this book explores the personal, political, and spiritual commitments of a group of Baptist women whose experiences have been informed by the realities of life in a rural, southern community. In these lives, "spirituality" emerges as a space for creative agency, of vital importance to the ways in which these women interpret, inform, and reshape their social conditions--conditions often characterized by limited access to job opportunities, health care, and equitable schooling. In the words of these women, and in Marla F. Frederick's deft analysis, we see how spirituality-expressed as gratitude, empathy, or righteous discontent-operates as a transformative power in women's interactions with others, and in their own more intimate renegotiations of self. 410 0$aGeorge Gund Foundation Book in African American Studies 606 $aAfrican American women$xReligious life 606 $aAfrican American women$xSpiritual life 610 $aafrican americans. 610 $aamerican south. 610 $aamerican women. 610 $abaptist women. 610 $ablack americans. 610 $ablack experience. 610 $ablack religion. 610 $ablack women. 610 $achristianity. 610 $acultural analysis. 610 $acultural politics. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afaith and religion. 610 $afemale relationships. 610 $agender studies. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apersonal interviews. 610 $aregional history. 610 $arural south. 610 $asocial conditions. 610 $asouthern baptists. 610 $aspiritual community. 610 $aspiritual lives. 610 $aspirituality. 610 $asystemic oppression. 610 $awomen of faith. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xReligious life. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xSpiritual life. 676 $a277.5/6/083/082 700 $aFrederick$b Marla Faye$f1972-$01621855 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810676403321 996 $aBetween Sundays$93955356 997 $aUNINA
