In the early 1960s, a new form of racial pluralism emerged among African Americans. This new pluralism was based on the idea that African Americans were a culturally and racially diverse group, with different experiences and perspectives that warranted their own independent institutions. This challenge to white Protestantism was met with mixed reactions from the Christian community. Some white Protestants saw the new pluralism as a sign of African Americans' independence and empowerment, while others viewed it as a challenge to white supremacy and the superiority of white Protestantism. Black Power and White Protestants provides a Christian response to the new Negro pluralism, exploring the theological and spiritual implications of this trend. Hough, Jr. and Joseph C. explore the ways in which Christian theology can help African Americans understand and embrace their unique identity. They also explore the ways in which Christian faith can help white Protestants to better understand and engage with African Americans. This book is important not only because it provides a theological response to the new Negro pluralism, but; 8vo; 228 pages.
