{"product_id":"9781608332151","title":"Unfinished Business: Black Women, the Black Church, and the Struggle to Thrive in America","description":"Day presents a striking portrayal of poverty, with all its related problems, among black women in this country unemployment, underemployment, isolation, and lack of assets such a car or home ownership. She turns to the black church as a potential agent of social change, indicating ways in which the black church can take up the equivalent of a Poor People s Campaign. She takes on the common stereotypes that castigate poor black women as morally problematic and dependent on the money of good tax-paying citizens, demonstrating their inaccuracy.    A specific concern Day addresses throughout is how to aid black women to develop assets that will prevent long-term poverty and allow them to thrive. In the words of Cornel West, This book is a pioneering and path-blazing work in Christian ethics that combines a sophisticated class-based notion of thriving with an asset-building approach of public policy for prophetic Christian praxis. Keri Day makes Martin Luther King, Jr. and Fanny Lou Hamer smile from the grave!","brand":"Orbis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171172303088,"sku":"9781608332151","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608332151_p0.jpg?v=1763838456","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608332151","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
