Descripción
Sumario:Noting that Israel's earliest responses to earth-shaking changes were cast in the powerfully expressive language of poetry, the author argues that the careful collection and preservation of these traditions - now found in every part of the Hebrew Bible - was an act of resistance, a communal no to the forces of despair and a yes to the creative power of the Spirit. Further, the author argues, the power of these poems to craft and shape a future for a people who had suffered acute displacement and marginalization offers a rich spiritual repertoire for Africana peoples.
