In this study, Victor Anderson traces instances of "ontological
blackness" in African American theological, religious and cultural
thought, arguing that African American critical thought has been
trapped in a racial rhetoric that it did not create and which
cannot serve it well. Drawing together 18th- and 19th-century
accomodationism and its assimilationist heirs with the movements of
Black Power and Afrocentrism, Anderson shows that all exhibit a
similar structure of racial identity. He suggests that it is time
to move beyond the confines of "the cult of black heroic genius" to
what Bell Hooks has termed "postmodern blackness": a racial
discourse that leaves room to negotiate African American identities
along lines of class, gender, sexuality, and age as well as race.
