In Black Samson: The Untold Story of an American Icon, Nyasha Junior and Jeremy Schipper investigate legal documents, narratives by enslaved persons, speeches, sermons, periodicals, poetry, fiction, and visual arts to tell the unlikely story of how a flawed biblical hero became an iconic figure in America's racial history. Along the way, Schipper and Junior engage the work of African American luminaries, including Fredrick Douglass, James Baldwin, Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, and many others. From stories of slave rebellions to the Black Power movement, invoking the biblical character of Samson became a powerful way for African Americans to voice strategies and opinions about many race-related issues. 000932370 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on June 4, 2020). 000932370 60000 $$aSamson$$c(Biblical judge)$$xIn literature. 000932370 60000 $$aSamson$$c(Biblical judge)$$xArt. 000932370 63000 $$aBible.$$pJudges$$xCriticism, interpretation, etc. 000932370 650_0 $$aAfrican American men$$xRace identity. 000932370 650_0 $$aAfrican American men in literature. 000932370 650_0 $$aAfrican American men in popular culture. 000932370 7001_ $$aSchipper, Jeremy,$$eauthor. 000932370 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190689780 000932370 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000932370 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000932370 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190689780.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000932370 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:932370$$pGLOBAL_SET 000932370 980__ $$aEBOOK 000932370 980__ $$aBIB 000932370 982__ $$aEbook 000932370 983__ $$aOnline
