She documents several famous lynchings and focuses upon the issues of consumption.<BR/><BR/>For my next project after my diss. (which I have to finish promptly to move to a next project), I am going to examine the lynching of Claude Neal in Marianna, FL (my hometown) to examine issues of religious consumption of the bodies of victims. I agree with the previous comments that this is a topic that needs to be much explored.Kelly J.

For the classroom, perhaps clips of the 2006 film _Color of the Cross_ may prompt interesting discussions, as will some of Du Bois's shorter Crisis essays (e.g., "The Gospel According to Mary Brown" and "The Son of God") found in Phil Zuckerman's reader. Interested readers may also wish to consult James Perkinson's work on white theology.<BR/><BR/>For the larger context of lynching and religion segments of Edward J. Blum's recent Du Bois biography are an absolute must--particulalry since he argues Du Bois preceded Cone as the father of black theology (among other important arguments).Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853976805605495345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-66449168910589652772007-11-26T11:27:00.000-07:002007-11-26T11:27:00.000-07:00Orlando Patterson has done some great work on reli...Orlando Patterson has done some great work on religion and lynching too.
