Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist Perspective
|
Kelly Brown Douglas
|
1999
|
Tackles the taboo subject of sexuality long avoided by the Black church and community. Argues that this view of Black sexuality has interfered with constructive responses to the AIDS crisis and teenage pregnancies, fostered intolerance of sexual diversity, frustrated healthy male/female relationships, and rendered Black and womanist theologians silent on sexual issues. Douglas’ basic argument is that black sexuality is a fiction made up of stereotypes derived from white culture -- ultimately a means to discipline and control black bodies.
