Womanist thought remains of critical importance given contemporary
issues of social justice and advocacy. Womanist Ethical Rhetoric
centers discourses of religious rhetoric and its influence on Black
women's aims for voice, empowerment, and social justice in these
turbulent times. The chapters utilize womanism, in conjunction with
other frames, to examine how Black women incorporate different
aspects of their identities into struggles for empowerment and
celebrations of who they are in holistic ways that center love and
community. This approach embraces both the commonalities and
differences between womanists through theoretical and applied
contexts. It advances the work of womanist predecessors and pays
homage to them, most notably Rev. Dr. Katie Cannon's work on
womanism and religion. Topics analyzed include Black women's
spiritual and professional identities in religious organizations,
the role of Black churches in Black Lives Matter, and the inclusion
of all Black women in racial academic achievement gaps. Chapters
also examine Black women's leadership and activism, including
church leaders and representations in popular culture, and women's
inclusion in the beloved community. This collection centralizes the
plurality of Black women's lives, which is key to advancing their
voices.
