“Thinking philosophically about the black Church”

Host Jack Russell Weinstein visits with J. Kameron Carter, associate professor of systematic theology and black church studies at Duke Divinity School. Driving his work are questions pertaining to the theory and practice of blackness, indeed, of blackness as an alternate "pedagogy of the sacred" that the black church (at its best) expresses. His is the author of "Race: A Theological Account," 2008, Oxford University Press. He is the editor of Religion and the Future of Blackness (a special issue of South Atlantic Quarterly, 2013). He has two books near completion: "God’s Property: Blackness and the Problem of Sovereignty and Postracial Blues," and "Religion and the Twenty-First Century Color Line."
