"Jay Kameron Carter has written an extraordinarily insightful and sophisticated analysis of race as it has been constructed in modern philosophy and theology. His study reconceptualizes modernity and demonstrates the centrality of religion to any understanding of racism." –Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College
"An intellectual tour de force! This book demonstrates great intellectual range and theological imagination; it should be read by all students of theology, religious studies and African American religion and history. I have nothing but praise for this work by a young African American scholar who must be reckoned with." --James H. Cone, Charles Augustus Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology, Union Theological Seminary

Stephane Dunn with Baad Bitches& Sassy Supermamas
Local author and Morehouse College professor, Stephane Dunn, has written a lively study that explores the sexualized, subordinate positioning of women in low-budget blaxploitation action films. Her book, "Baad Bitches & Sassy Supermamas: Black Power Action Films," is hot off the press. Come hear Stephane at Charis as she talks about a distinct moment in the history of African American representation in popular cinema, touching on Black Power and feminist influences. Following the discussion, Stephane will sign copies of her book for fans.
"Dunn puts the whole blaxploitation experience into logical context, explaining the social conditions of the era relating to race and gender that affected how the black community observed these films. . . . An essential companion to the black film studies genre. Recommended."--Library Journal
"With trenchant intellect and sassiness that is only matched by the larger-than-life characters she examines throughout "Baad Bitches" and Sassy Supermamas: Black Power Action Films, Stephane Dunn provides a fresh perspective on intersections of gender and sexuality within blaxploitation-era black film. This is a very important addition to scholarship in African American cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, and American studies."--Mark Anthony Neal, author of New Black Man: Rethinking Black Masculinity
