Abstract

"Most polls show African-Americans evenly divided in their views of gay marriage, but a small group of Black pastors who are vocal in their assertions that homosexuality is a sin (such as Kim Burrell, a pastor and gospel singer whose diatribe went viral in January 2017, earning her a disinvite from the Ellen TV show) have commanded all the attention. The real story, however, is more nuanced: rather than a conservative anomaly within a singularly progressive tradition, black churches and their clerical leaders were both the hyper-homophobic foil to and a formidable voice for LGBTQ equality. And with the increased visibility of police violence, the church slayings in Charleston, South Carolina, the murder of George Floyd, and the increased prominence of the Black Lives Matter movement, renewed attention has been given to a host of issues that, some would suggest, make women's, gay, and transgender rights connected to sexuality a lesser concern within black communities. But the continuing appeals to freedom of religion as a means of opposing gay and women's sexual rights--which many Black clergy still oppose on theological or moral grounds--make it reasonable to ask how are we to understand the relationship between the cultural politics of black churches and how these churches (and their members) participate in the formal processes of electoral politics?"--

Abstract

While many of the most significant black intellectual movements of the second half of the twentieth century have been perceived as secular, Josef Sorett demonstrates in this book that religion was actually a fertile, fluid and formidable force within these movements. Spirit in the Dark examines how African American literary visions were animated and organized by religion and spirituality, from the New Negro Renaissance of the 1920s to the Black Arts movement of the 1960s.
