Description 1 online resource (208 pages)
Contents Introduction : Divine discontent as religious faith -- What is pragmatic religious naturalism, and what does it have to do with Du Bois? -- Pragmatic religious naturalism and the binding of The souls of Black folk -- "Love for these people" : racial piety as religious devotion -- Rewriting the American jeremiad : on pluralism, Black nationalism, and a new America -- "Behold the sign of salvation-a noosed rope" : the promise and perils of Du Bois's economies of sacrifice -- Conclusion : Beyond Du Bois : toward a tradition of African American pragmatic religious naturalism
Summary Kahn contends that the standard treatment of Du Bois turns a deaf ear to the religious timbre of his writings & that Du Bois's moral, literary, & political imagination was inhabited by religious rhetoric, concepts & stories. This text recovers the remarkably complex and varied religious world in Du Bois's writings
