Centering Black faith and spirituality, The Day God Saw Me as Black is a genre-defying cultural critique of white supremacy within the Black Pentecostal religious experience. In this groundbreaking work by public theologian and sought-after cultural strategist D. Danyelle Thomas, you will journey with the author as she examines The Church through the lenses of race, gender, sexual expression, and class--blending sharp cultural analysis with personal narrative. It is both a critique and a meditation, a study in decolonization and a call for reconciliation.
The Day God Saw Me as Black dares to imagine what could be possible if we stopped denying ourselves--and each other--the fullness of liberation.
Now in its first paperback edition, this release includes "
Pray for the USA," an exclusive essay that reclaims prayer as spellwork and spiritual protest when Christian nationalism masquerades as God.
