Exploring the relationship among blacks, religion, and the environment, this book examines how blacks have understood and related to the environment throughout their history.
Traveling from the earliest Christianity to ancient Africa to black environmental liberation theology for environmental justice in the 20th century, blacks have connected with the environment through both African-influenced spirituality and Christian doctrine, making their experiences and understanding of the environment distinctive and unique.
Drawing on passages from scripture as well as explorations of the black experience by Nat Turner, Harriet Jacobs, Toni Morrison, and Wangari Maathai, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of black and environmental history, theology, and religion.
