Black Theology and Black Power

In this book, James H. Cone critiques the lack of Christian action by the American Church in response to racism.

He defines Black Power as the complete emancipation of black people from white oppression and argues that it is not alien to the gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather an expression of it.

Cone connects the gospel of Jesus with the liberation of black people, emphasizing that God is actively fighting against racist structures of oppression.

The book also explores the concept of reconciliation, arguing that it cannot happen until full emancipation of black people is achieved.
