Contemporary debates on the role of
religion in American public life tend to
ignore the overlap between religion and
race in the formation of American demo¬
cratic traditions. The U.S. model of po¬
litical liberalism (particularly in its debt to
John Rawls) has focused on rights and
inclusion, suggesting that giving black
citizens a place at the political table in
effect creates a robust democracy. But
the dedicated fight to combat racism,
sexism, and other forms of discrimina¬
tion has effectively sidelined the moral
compass provided by religious thinkers
and religious belief. This argument is at
the heart of Terrence Johnson s provoca¬
tive new study. He believes that the often
unacknowledged disdain for blackness
that grew during the era of slavery and
segregation has made liberals avoid the
very thing necessary to solving recalci¬
trant political and economic problems:
the acknowledgment of a comprehen¬
sive African American philosophy.
Drawing insight from W.
Е. В.
Du Bois,
Frederick Douglass, and
Toni
Morrison,
Johnson recasts the question of the role
religion should play in politics by focus¬
ing on an inclusive approach to African
American thought and life. He puts for¬
ward a new model through which politi¬
cal science and religion can be put into
productive conversation. The writings of
W.
E. B.
Du Bois
are central. While
Du Bois
has been accused of being unable to
address black despair, Johnson finds that
Du
Bois s notion of tragic soul-life
—
a
theory that emerges from the brutal
legacy of black suffering, extending the
sorrow song into a political register-
provides the kind of ethics of democracy
(continued on back flap)
that has been missing in liberal initia¬
tives. His book provides a host of new
insights for literary critics and social
scientists concerned with the role of
American religion in the fight against
racism and social injustice.
