En savoir plus sur le livre

Dwight York's transformation from a New York street gang member to a Black messiah highlights the intersection of racial identity and spirituality in America. The book explores York's journey through various racial and religious identities, emphasizing the dramatic shifts in lifestyle and gender roles within the Nuwaubian Nation. It also examines the societal backlash against unconventional religions, culminating in a violent FBI raid in 2002, while integrating theories from sociology and media studies to provide a deeper understanding of these dynamics.
