In The Black God Trope, I theorize Black Nationalist rhetorical strategies as an avenue to better understand African American communication practices. I demonstrate how Black communicators use writing about God to create a language that reflects African Americans’ shifting subjectivity within the American experience.

Examines the intersection of racist cultural rhetorics and 20th Century news media outlets in the creation of a criminalized formulation of Black male identity.
