TROPES: Church Politics & Its Impact on The Black Female Identity-Independently published
About the Book/Author:
Dr. Grantham dismantles tropes in the Black Church Movement. A trope is a recurrent theme which conditions the public to believe it. She uncovers how tropes influence church politics with dangerous consequences. They impact black women’s identity in the Church and cause havoc in their lives. She frames her personal story in the context of African American History and warns readers about how to stay out of deception! Dr. Grantham’s research focuses on how social identities are developed in the context of religious and political movements, and on how we can use that information for social activism.
