Tribal Talk: Black Theology, Hermeneutics, and African-American Ways of Telling the Story

In this book, author Will Coleman exhibits and ponders the sustaining power of a narrative tradition embedded in African memory and practiced among slaves as a way of staying alive with a peculiar identity under the duress of slavery. This book is unique in that it uses various interpretive strategies to demonstrate the ways in which slave narratives are indeed a basis for black theology.
