Drawing upon a host of untapped sources, including previously sealed church records and oral histories, Subversive Habits recovers Black sisters' lives and labors as pioneering Black religious leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, desegregation foot soldiers, Black power activists, and womanist theologians. This book also turns attention to female religious life in the Roman Catholic Church as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segregation-and in turn an important battleground of the long African American freedom struggle"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 277.30089 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 277.30089 Wi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
