  1. This Book Is Not for Me

  2. Black Ecclesial Interpretation

  3. The Problem of Essentialism


In the previous post, I grappled with the most problematic aspect of Reading While Black as I understand it. It is the most problematic not because it touches a cultural nerve—though it does that—but because it is methodologically central to McCaulley’s argument. In the final post of the series, I offer some smaller-scale critiques and conclude with appreciation for my favorite dimensions of the book.
