The Womanist Preacher: Proclaiming Womanist Rhetoric from the
Pulpit performs a close textual analysis of five womanist sermons
to answer the question: how does womanist preaching attempt to
transform/adapt the tenets of womanist thought to make it
rhetorically viable in the church? And what is gained and lost in
this? The sermons come from five women who are considered exemplars
of womanist preaching: Elaine M. Flake, Gina M. Stewart, Cheryl
Kirk-Duggan, Melva L. Sampson, and Claudette A. Copeland. This book
takes the first step in womanist scholarship to dissect what is
rhetorically going on in womanist preaching, to categorize womanist
sermons under the four tenets of womanist preaching, and to then
create four rhetorical models that reflect the rhetorical
attributes of the four different categories or phrased tenets that
Stacey Floyd-Thomas uses to represent Alice Walker's "womanist"
definition.
