Description
The figure of Mary of Nazareth is often associated with traditional notions of femininity and piety. However, for many black women, this image can be alienating and inaccessible. This book explores the complex relationship between African American women and Mary of Nazareth, examining the history of black American motherhood during slavery and beyond. It also considers existing views of Mary in both the church and the academy, before bringing together African American women and Mary through a womanist Mariology that incorporates womanist biblical and theological interpretation. By exploring this intersection of faith, identity, and motherhood, Lee sheds new light on the ways in which black women have been perceived and represented throughout history.
