Using in-depth, qualitative interviews, Daniel Swann builds a foundation for understanding Black Atheist identities, how Black Atheists conceive of themselves, how they perceive, internalize, and manage stigma, how they view in-group belonging, and how they understand their experiences as Atheists to be racialized. The author argues these unique circumstances have produced a distinctive identity at this particular intersection of race and religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this much-needed, extremely welcome addition to the burgeoning study of contemporary secularity, Daniel Swann draws from the voices of non-religious African Americans, exploring and exposing their world views, values, and identities. A sound and thoughtful sociological investigation into the Black Atheist experience, this is essential reading for anyone interested in race and religion—or more importantly—race and irreligion. -- Phil Zuckerman, Pitzer College, author of What It Means to be Moral and Living the Secular Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments List of Tables List of Figures Preface Introduction: Statement of the Problem and Roadmap Chapter 1: Atheism and Stigma Focused Literature Review Chapter 2: The Connection of Religiosity to Black Culture Chapter 3: A Brief History of Black Atheists and Black Skeptics Chapter 4: Exploring the Sample and Data Collection Chapter 5: Racialized Understanding of Atheism and the Black Atheist Identity Chapter 6: Black Atheists Relationship to Mainstream Atheism Conclusion References Appendix A: Interview Protocol Appendix B: Obtaining Consent About the Author","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040862830935,"sku":"9781498592390","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498592390.jpg?v=1750948102","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-qualitative-study-of-black-atheists-9781498592390","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
