{"product_id":"race-religion-and-black-lives-christopher-cameron-9780826502063","title":"Race, Religion, and Black Lives Matter: Essays on a Moment and a Movement","description":"Black Lives Matter, like its predecessor movements, embodies flesh and blood through local organizing, national and global protests, hunger strikes, and numerous acts of civil disobedience. Chants like \"All night! All day! We're gonna fight for Freddie Gray!\" and \"No justice, no fear! Sandra Bland is marching here!\" give voice simultaneously to the rage, truth, hope, and insurgency that sustain BLM. While BLM has generously welcomed a broad group of individuals whom religious institutions have historically resisted or rejected, contrary to general perceptions, religion neither has been absent nor excluded from the movement's activities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume has a simple, but far-reaching argument: religion is an important thread in BLM. To advance this claim, \u003ci\u003eRace, Religion, and Black Lives Matter \u003c\/i\u003eexamines religion's place in the movement through the lenses of history, politics, and culture. While this collection is not exhaustive or comprehensive in its coverage of religion and BLM, it selectively anthologizes unique aspects of Black religious history, thought, and culture in relation to political struggle in the contemporary era. The chapters aim to document historical change in light of current trends and current events. The contributors analyze religion and BLM in a current historical moment fraught with aggressive, fascist, authoritarian tendencies \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e one shaped by profound ingenuity, creativity, and insightful perspectives on Black history and culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Cameron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826502067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826502063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.76d","brand":"Christopher Cameron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044699402495,"sku":"9780826502063","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90c81515-0076-487b-887a-146e65646a86.jpg?v=1684974367","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-religion-and-black-lives-christopher-cameron-9780826502063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
