N1  - Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-163) and index; Frantz Fanon and J. Saunders Redding : the psychological and political necessity of atheism -- The humanist/atheist controversy in Richard Wright's The outsider -- No means yes : the conversion narrative as rape scene in Nella Larsen's Quicksand -- Langston Hughes : the sociocultural structuring of God, desire, and the law -- Touchstone narratives: measuring the value of the God concept
N2  - A study of atheist African American writers which poses a challenge to those who see atheism in despairing and nihilistic terms. This work argues that while most white atheists mourn the loss of faith, many black atheists - believing the 'God-concept' spawns racism and oppression - consider the death of God a cause for personal and political hope
