Race and those other socially divisive creations, concepts, tropes, ideologies, and behaviors that have enabled human beings to dominate Earth and other species are now obsolete because of weapons, technology, and internationalism. The big brained animal must transform and transcend his or her culture with the Ecological Revolution or become extinct. The production and reproduction of social inferiority is maladaptive in a global village. Status superiority and inferiority threaten the human race. Human beings can no longer deny, defy, and defile their animal kinship in their own endless search for security. If human beings fail to change, they may leave the Earth to other social animals who have evolved better paradigms of social cooperation and ecological fitness.

Community in a Black Pentecostal Church: An Anthropological Study

Waveland Pr Inc.

In this descriptive analysis of a contemporary, viable social group--a black Pentecostal church in the Hill District of Pittsburgh--Williams vividly recreates a society that most people have only glimpsed. He looks beyond "social and cultural deprivation," "social disorganization," and the "poverty-stricken and disadvantaged" and discovers human vitality within black lifestyles--the meaning that must reside in every cohesive human group. It is not only the first anthropological book of its kind, but also a penetrating look at the black southern peasant transplanted to the urban north, the role of the black church in this transition, the concept of community in modern society, and the cultural content of poverty.

First published in 1990. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &amp; Francis, an informa company.
