Beskrivning

This book argues for the positionality of the spirituality of queer Black women through the construction of an ecocosmological spiritual framework.Conceptualizing the decolonial, Tomeka C. Jacobs travels through space, place, and time to rediscover the parts of queer Black women that have been quieted due to cisheteronormative, patriarchal, hegemonic, misogyny, and misogynoir systems of domination. She reflects on what it means to engage the decolonial through a theological and interdisciplinary lens, which includes epistemology, pedagogy, and ontology. Ecocosmological Spirituality of Southern Queer Black Women: (Re)Membering and Reconnecting Identity serves as a love letter to queer Black women who have often been overlooked in both academic and cultural milieus. Using queer autoethnography and decolonial methods, this book takes the reader on a journey of becoming. Jacobs presents themes of belonging, identity, healing, pain, joy, disconnection, reconnection, and the practice of (re)membering in the ecocosmological sphere. As an art form, she relies on scholars from disciplines beyond the scope of theology to address theological concerns and conscious positioning. This book is a call to unlearn, disconnect, deconstruct, and then (re)member, reconnect, and construct in life-giving, life-affirming, and life-altering ways.

Recensioner i media

Dr. Tomeka C. Jacobs' work brings forth a luminous reclamation of self, rooted in her sacred ecocosmological brilliance and attunement. With fierce tenderness and radical clarity, she weaves personal story, ancestral tradition, and the wisdom of Black queer southern womanhood while providing readers with a liberating spiritual framework that honors complexity, embodiment, kinship, and continuity. Her narrative expands the terrain of possibility for how we might create a poetics of healing through ecocosmological spirituality and imaginative becoming.
