This first-ever Black Catholic Studies Reader offers an
introduction to the theology and history of the Black Catholic
experience from those who know it best: Black Catholic scholars,
teachers, activists, and ministers. The reader offers a
multi-faceted, interdisciplinary approach that illuminates what it
means to be Black and Catholic in the United States. This
collection of essays from prominent scholars, both past and
present, brings together contributions from theologians M. Shawn
Copeland, Kim Harris, Diana Hayes, Bryan Massingale, and C. Vanessa
White, and historians Cecilia Moore, Diane Batts Morrow, and Ronald
Sharps, and selections from an earlier generation of thinkers and
activists, including Thea Bowman, Cyprian Davis, and Clarence
Rivers. Contributions delve into the interlocking fields of
history, spirituality, liturgy, and biography. Through their
contributions, Black Catholic Studies scholars engage theologies of
liberation and the reality of racism, the Black struggle for
recognition within the Church, and the distinctiveness of
African-inspired spirituality, prayer, and worship. By considering
their racial and religious identities, these select Black Catholic
theologians and historians add their voices to the contemporary
conversation surrounding culture, race, and religion in America,
inviting engagement from students and teachers of the American
experience, social commentators and advocates, and theologians and
persons of faith
