About the Author: EDDIE S.
It is a task, he argues, that requires an Uncommon faith and deserves the close attention of scholars of African American religion.
In the end, his analysis turns our attention to those "black souls" who engage in the arduous task of self-creation in a world that clings to the idea that white people matter more than others.
Ultimately, An Uncommon Faith reveals how pragmatism has shaped Glaude\'s scholarship over the years, as well as his interpretation of black life in the United States.
This claim emerges as Glaude puts forward a rather idiosyncratic view of what the phrase "African American religion" offers within the context of a critically Pragmatic Approach to writing African American religious history.
He insists that scholars take seriously what he calls black religious attitudes, that is, enduring and deep-seated dispositions tied to a transformative ideal that compel individuals to be otherwise--no matter the risk. makes explicit his Pragmatic Approach to the Study of African American religion.
