{"product_id":"between-sundays-marla-frederick-9780520233942","title":"Between Sundays: Black Women and Everyday Struggles of Faith","description":"To be a black woman of faith in the American South is to understand and experience spirituality in a particular way. How this understanding expresses itself in everyday practices of faith is the subject of \u003ci\u003eBetween Sundays, \u003c\/i\u003ean innovative work that takes readers beyond common misconceptions and narrow assumptions about black religion and into the actual complexities of African American women's spiritual lives. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGracefully combining narrative, interviews, and analysis, this book explores the personal, political, and spiritual commitments of a group of Baptist women whose experiences have been informed by the realities of life in a rural, southern community. In these lives, \"spirituality\" emerges as a space for creative agency, of vital importance to the ways in which these women interpret, inform, and reshape their social conditions--conditions often characterized by limited access to job opportunities, health care, and equitable schooling. In the words of these women, and in Marla F. Frederick's deft analysis, we see how spirituality-expressed as gratitude, empathy, or righteous discontent-operates as a transformative power in women's interactions with others, and in their own more intimate renegotiations of self.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marla Frederick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520233948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520233942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 5.75w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2004 pg. 119","brand":"Marla Frederick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919942680831,"sku":"9780520233942","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_84b4a39c-56a8-4010-b3b1-cb12c8a736db.jpg?v=1680812763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-sundays-marla-frederick-9780520233942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
