      title = {Deeper Shades of Purple : Womanism in Religion and Society  /},
      abstract = {Womanist approaches to the study of religion and society  have contributed much to our understanding of Black  religious life, activism, and women's liberation. Deeper  Shades of Purple explores the achievements of this movement  over the past two decades and evaluates some of the leading  voices and different perspectives within this burgeoning  field.Deeper Shades of Purple brings together a who's who  of scholars in the study of Black women and religion who  view their scholarship through a womanist critical lens.  The contributors revisit Alice Walker's definition of  womanism for its viability for the approaches to discourses  in religion of Black women scholars. Whereas Walker has  defined what it means to be womanist, these contributors  define what it means to practice womanism, and illuminate  how womanism has been used as a vantage point for the  theoretical orientations and methodological approaches of  Black women scholar-activists.Contributors: Karen  Baker-Fletcher, Katie G.
