Donald McCrary. Womanist Theology and Its Efficacy for the Writing Classroom.

McCrary, Donald. "Womanist Theology and Its Efficacy for the Writing Classroom." CCC 52.4 (2001): 521-552.

Abstract:

Analyzing postmodern theory, course discussion, and student texts, this article argues that womanist theology and the texts it gathers can serve as efficacious course content for other-literate students. Womanist theology offers students a scholarly discipline that expresses inter- and intracultural rhetorical awareness, bridging the gap between home and school literacy functions.
