Roots and Writing (A Book Project)
Written from a phenomenological perspective, Roots and Writing: The Relationship between Literacy and Spirituality in Black Literate Lives uses Lucille Clifton’s story and others like hers to explain and evidence the ways in which literacy in its many forms has been used in the practice of Black spiritual traditions across time and space. This book will discuss how literacy has been used to maintain spiritual traditions and to transmit knowledge of them to subsequent generations of Black literate people.
