Kaalund examines the constructed and contested Christian-Jewish
identities in Hebrews and 1 Peter through the lens of the "New
Negro," a diasporic identity similarly constructed and contested
during the Great Migration in the early 20th century. Like the
identity "Christian," the New Negro emerged in a context marked by
instability, creativity, and the need for a sense of permanence in
a hostile political environment. Upon examination, both identities
also show complex internal diversity and debate that disrupts any
simple articulation as purely resistant (or accommodating) to its
hegemonic and oppressive environment. Kaalund's investigation into
the construction of the New Negro highlights this multiplicity and
contends that the rhetoric of place, race, and gender were integral
to these processes of inventing a way of being in the world that
was seemingly not reliant on one's physical space. Putting these
issues into dialogue with 1 Peter and Hebrews allows for a reading
of the formation of Christian identity as similarly engaging the
rhetoric of place and race in constructive and contested ways.
