Humanists in the Hood: Unapologetically Black, Feminist, and Heretical (Humanism in Practice)

Feminism and atheism are ?dirty words? that Americans across the political spectrum love to debate?and hate. Throw them into a blender and you have a toxic brew that supposedly defies decency, respectability, and Americana. Add an ?unapologetically? Black critique to the mix and it?s a deal-breaking social taboo. Putting gender at the center of the equation, progressive ?Religious Nones? of color are spearheading an anti-racist, social justice humanism that disrupts the ?colorblind? ethos of European American atheist and humanist agendas, which focus principally on church-state separation. These critical interventions build on the lived experiences and social histories of segregated Black and Latinx communities that are increasingly under economic siege. In this context, Hutchinson makes a valuable and necessary call for social justice change in a polarized climate where Black women?s political power has become a galvanizing national force.
