Sex, Race, and God

By Susan B. Thistlethwaite and Thistlewaite

Book Overview

Sex, Race, and God is the impassioned manifesto of a white feminist's reckoning with the meaning of race-including her own whiteness-in doing theology. We should be discussing, and acting on many of Thistlethwaite's insights for quite some time. She has made a vital contribution to the feminist theological enterprise and to the critical relationship between back and white women in it. -Carter Heyward Sex, Race, and God is a sincere attempt to listen to and learn from African-American women. . . a serious and largely successful effort to create a method that addresses differences rather than proposing wishful commonalities. Many women of color will find it promising a basis for dialogue. -The Women's Review of Books This pivotal book illuminates a significant ongoing debate at the intersection of two fields: contemporary theology and feminist studies. -Choice Thistlethwaite does what so few white feminists have done: genuinely interact with (and learn from) the strong differences in experience and perspective between African -American women and European-American women. -The Other Side

Race and Gender

In this book, Thistlethwaite critically analyzes the intersection of race and gender through the interaction between feminist and womanist thought. After the first chapter, the book really pulled me in and left me with a great deal to think about and chew over.
