| 520 | |a Publisher description: "Transforming Scriptures is the first sustained treatment of African American women writers' intellectual, even theological, engagements with the[Bible]. Katherine Clay Bassard looks at poetry, novels, speeches, sermons, and prayers by Maria W. Stewart, Frances Harper, Hannah Crafts, Harriet E. Wilson, Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and Sherley Anne Williams and discusses how such texts respond as a collective 'literary witness' to the use of the Bible for purposes of social domination. Black women's historic encounters with the Bible were, indeed, transformational; in the process of 'turning cursing into blessing' these women were both shaped and reshaped by the scriptures they appropriated for their own self-representation." | ||
