Black Grief & Soul Therapy

Dr. Nicholas C. Cooper-Lewter is the black Jung and the American Fanon. This book is his Fanonian Wretched of the Earth and his Jungian Answer to Job rolled into one.

In Black Grief and Soul Therapy, Dr. Cooper-Lewter speaks of African Americans as members of a grieving culture, and the black church as a place grievers tend to go to get their needs catered to but not fulfilled. As a people caught in the grief-cycle suffering all manner of spiritual abuse from others and all manner of soul drive-bys at their own hands, black folks need to recapture the ancient healing folk values of soul therapy.
