This book presents a study of the rise of American neoliberalism in the aftermath of the modern Civil Rights movement; paying particular attention to the traumatic impact of the neoliberal age on countless African Americans. Author Cedric C. Johnson takes a close look at the manner in which American neoliberalism has been able to preserve; articulate; and exploit constructions of race-based difference. The neoliberal age has engendered an extraordinary growth in economic disparities and social inequalities; with traumatic repercussions for innumerable African Americans. Historically; black religious forms have functioned as contested spaces; capable of organizing alternative modes of cultural; economic; and political life. This project examines forms of black religiosity that function as modes of soul care in this context. Johnson posits an innovative; multi-systems approach that informs practices of care for populations traumatized or threatened by the neoliberal age.

Thank you!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. but this seemed pretty well put together for someone like meBy Lydia JoyI needed this book for school. I probably wouldn't have bought this on my own; but I also would have considered keeping it had I not rented it. It's neat to look back and see the different historical documents and essays surrounding various events in Texas history. I always find it particularly interesting to see how people speak and write change throughout time. I'm no expert; but this seemed pretty well put together for someone like me.
