This book presents the way in which African American women writers (Hannah Crafts, Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison) have followed the spiritual endeavor of black Christianity as created by early nineteenth-century spiritual narratives to construct a sacred reading of the black female self. The sacred femininity that puts the ethics and aesthetics of African American women at the center of a certain mode of (African) Americanness relies on a view of spirituality that joins women ontologically and validates affective modes of representation as an innovative means to obtain social and personal empowerment. Este libro presenta la manera en que las escritoras afroamericanas (Hannah Crafts, Zora Neale Hurston y Toni Morrison) han seguido el esfuerzo espiritual del cristianismo negro creado por las narrativas espirituales de principios del siglo xix para construir una lectura sagrada del yo negro femenino. La feminidad sagrada que pone la ética y la estética de las mujeres afroamericanas en el centro de un cierto modo de ser americano (afro-americano) se basa en una visión de la espiritualidad que une ontológicamente a las mujeres y valida los modos afectivos de representación como un medio innovador para obtener empoderamiento social y personal.
