Churches, Blackness, and Contested Multiculturalism

"Churches, Blackness, and Contested Multiculturalism" is an academic book that examines the responses of contemporary churches to multicultural diversity. It investigates the extent to which various social differences, such as race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, and gender, are recognized by churches, particularly black churches. The book highlights the tensions between inclusive and exclusive tendencies within the churches and provides a critical analysis of the challenges arising from these dynamics. The authors W. Ackah, A. Reddie, and R. Smith contribute their expertise to explore the complex relationships between faith communities and societal diversity. This work is particularly relevant for professionals and students engaged with issues of social justice, identity, and intercultural dialogue.
