Description
In Finding God in All the Black Places, Beretta E. Smith-Shomade contends that Black spirituality and Black church religiosity are the critical crux of Black popular culture. She argues that cultural, community and social support live within the Black church and that spirit, art and progress are deeply entwined and seal this connection. Including the work of artists such as Mary J. Blige, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Prince, Spike Lee and Oprah Winfrey, the book examines contemporary Black television, film, music and digital culture to demonstrate the role, impact, and dominance of spirituality and religion on Black popular culture. Smith-Shomade believes that acknowledging and comprehending the foundations of Black spirituality and Black church religiosity within Black popular culture provides a way for viewers, listeners, and users to not only endure but also to revitalize.
